RE: The TIVO HD DVR is terrific

Thanks for the info.

The last time I checked with Comcast which was several years ago, they were charging about $5.95 per CableCard but I suspect their prices have dropped considerably maybe due to government regulation. They also insisted that they send their own tech to install it. I passed on it and got their HD DVR instead. The monthly charge for the HD DVR has actually gone up (again!) in recent months.

I plan to attach my existing 500GB eSATA disk to the TiVo HD DVR as I purchased the "small" capacity version. I couldn't see paying the extra $200 for the higher capacity TiVo since external disk drives are so cheap these days.

My main concern is the tech's ability to install the card(s) since the cable company insists on having one of their techs do it. I'll printout the step-by-step instructions from the TiVo Support website and have it handy when the tech arrives. This may be a couple months down the road after I play with the TiVo box with Over the Air HDTV using an antenna.

thanks!
