Anyone pickup RI Cox local HD channels with QAM?

I just moved to Rhode Island, and got the limited basic cable - for which Cox has assured me that I shoud be receiving the HD versions of NBC, ABC, etc., but all the channels I get are analog.

And yes, I've run several channel scans (on both sets) and the cable is not split. Does anyone out there pick up the local HD with their QAM tuners? Is something wrong with my buildings set-up?

I switched to the Limited Basic cable, ran a channel scan and picked up a lot of Limited Basic HD channels in RI
6, 10 & 12 are the analog - the HD come in at 6.1, 10.1 etc...

channell 11 is 64... HD is 64.1

There's also quite a few HD PBS stations further up the dial (hopefully they don't pull those back)

So I guess you should check the settings of your HDTV and figure out why it's not able to pick up that signal when doing a channel scan.

FYI - I just have direct cable coming into the TV - no separate tuner - and it gets the HD signal as well as going from a cable box into the tv via HDMI
