Is this one of those Swithed Digital Video deals where it requires two way communication from the box back to the mothership at Comcast so you actually get the channel ? I think you're ok with either a cable box, or with an adapter of some sort for S3/HD boxes, but I really haven't heard much about the units actually being installed much. Glen

A lot of people have an extra TV out on the porch or something that they just have a cable running to without a box. In my case when that happened to me I still had a series 2 DT that was hooked up analog and used it as an excuse to upgrade to the TiVo HD. They know you have a cable box but they don't know if you have any other TVs that might not have cable boxes on them. -- Brian Hartsfield CCNA, CCDA AIM: kd4aej Twitter: Krandor1 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/brian.hartsfield Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brianhartsfield On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 8:39 AM, tomsalwasser <[email protected]>wrote: > Thanks Brian.
