I would consider getting a PVR 250, but my cable company is telling it's 
customers that it is getting rid of analog cable by the end of the year.  
They said something about FCC requirements to switch to digital by 
2004.  Has anyone else heard the same thing from their cable company?

Thanks,
Brian
