Good question Brian. I'm going to make another assumtion that no
you'll need to have a cable box for the HD programming provided by the
cable company but it might work on the lower channels that are being
broadcasted in HD if I'm understanding correctly.
Like i said thats a W.A.G...

I have an HD capable TV so it's without a converter if I
understand correctly? I was hoping I could do some recording in
Myth with an HD3000 then pass it to the TV for viewing, correct
assumption?
So, if I don't need a cable box with QAM then what would prevent
me from plugging an HD television into the cable and avoid paying
for HD content? Unless your referring to those channels being
broadcast in HD, in the states CBS or NBC, etc? Which I would
assume is similar to OTA?
The programming below is offered by insight and I might be able to
answer my own question on HD content if I'm assuming correctly...
The channels below are bing broadcast in HD and located in the
upper 500's but you need a cable box to get those upper channels.
Assuming I could tune those channels in, I'm guesssing I would be
able to watch the HD content if I have an HD television?
This is from Insight...
MORE HDTV PROGRAMMING:
When you get HDTV from Insight, you automatically get Universal HD.
Plus, when you sign up for the HD Pak, you'll get:
ESPNHD
HDNet
HDNet Movies
Discovery HD Theater
Thanks for the info guys. I'm just trying to digest and get a
reference point to where I stand in relation to preparedness for HD.

First off, as said many times on this list, top posting is evil.
Second, what is meant by the statement 'you dont need a cable box to get
HD channels' is that you can hook up the cable from the outlet on the
wall right into the pchdtv3k or air2pc cards and they will tune in any
HD channels using QAM that isnt encrypted. Its not a gurantee that your
cable co wont encrypt them, esp the premium channels, you def wont be
able to get ESPN, HDNet, HDNet Movies, Showtime, HBO....you may be able
to get your local HD channels, thats about it.
