I have a HD Tivo with 2 cable decoder cards. Insight has no idea how to hook them up nor do they show any signs of having any of their subcontractors learn how (2 visits so far.) When I get around to it, I am going to have a house call from Geek Squad and see how they do. Currently, I just

I would also like to see more of Lee's setup On the EyeTV... Does it integrate well with AppleTV? If you combine the 2 systems, does that make a decent TiVo replacement? I don't want to watch any TV on the computer, I want to be able to watch on a real TV! On May 3, 2009, at 12:16 AM,
