I don't. The conversion did start some 2-3 years ago or so. That's
when Comcast started converting the towns on the South Shore
(Holbrook, Braintree, Randolph, etc.).

Probably, yes. That's the nature of cable networks. But like I said,
Comcast is required by federal regulations to provide unencrypted
channels if you could get those channels over the air. They have to
give it to you if you ask.
This isn't HDCP. This is the signal on the wire from the central
office to your receiver.
