I have to pay extra for the basic cable.
When I signed up at the house many years ago, the basic cable was free
if you ordered their Internet service.
When I moved into the apartment a few months back, I inquired about that
and they stated they no longer provided that service. I did order
Here is an open source and open hardware (they publish the hardware
specs) box that records what ever and then converts it to mpeg 4. I
thought some people on the list may be interested.

I have played with one and have been happy with it so far, but the one
big catch that I found is it only odes ATSC (digital tv). That kind of
killed for what I purchased it for originally.

btw- someone has been trying to sell a Hauppauge TV Tuner Card on
Tucson Craigslist. Currently the price is at $30. Hauppauge hardware
has excellent linux support and can be used with the MythTV platform.

sorry, it means that it can only receive the digital tv signals. This
really isn't a problem if you are using hooked up to an antenna
because everything is simulcasted on both analog and digital channels.
If you however want to watch it tied to cox cable, you will only see
the channels that are in
Local channels in HD? Others? Facinating. I'd be really interested to
know which others you were able to see. As I mentioned, I have a
pcHDTV lying around that I wouldn't mind putting to good
use...depending of course what those channels are.

I'll post a review once I get it (week or two).
My minimum requirements were:
* 1080P playback
* Video playback of h.264 .mkv files w/subtitles
* Video playback of DIVX and h.264 .avi files
* Audio
The HDHomeRun is QAM compatible. All 'local' channels are mandated by the
FCC to be carried unencrypted over basic cable and are generally available
using a QAM (Quadrature amplitude modulation) compatible tuner.

I will try and get some time to hook it back up again tonight and let
you know what channels I find. If I remember correctly they are in the
700 range and you can see them with the cable plugged directly into
your HD TV as well.

There are 3 HD channels you can get on cox without using their HD box.
The channels are 12-1, 12-2, and 15-1. One of them is just a weather
channel but I have seen some decent HD shows on the others.

I do believe that they have different setups in different areas of the
valley and I know that they sometimes blow it on customer configuration.
As for HD, one would think that since the local channels are all
providing an HD signal, that these channels should just be free for
everyone to keep
