[mythtv-users] Digital Cable newbie questions

[Douglas Hitchcock]

Until now I've used only analog cable, to make my life simple.  Now Comcast
is forcing digital on me, and I'm kind of annoyed.

They tell me they're giving me a DCT 700 converter box, and I have no other
choice.  Does anyone use a DCT 700 successfully and happily?

I have dual tuners, a pvr250 and a pvr350, and a normal 4:3 tv.

So I guess I need two converter boxes?
That means I need two IR blasters?

I have a microATX case with only one serial port, will the dual head one
from http://www.irblaster.info/ work?  I thought I read somewhere about it
had to be different kinds of boxes.

I think that's it, thanks for indulging a digital cable newbie.  I've
searched and read but, I am still confused, I've been willfully ignorant of
these things until now and am trying to decide if I'm ready to learn, or
switch cable companies :)
