 From what I've read online that only applies to HD Set Top Boxes and 
I'm not going to be using HD.
I tried googling for the box too before posting this and after posting I 
googed and found my post. That has happened with other topics I've 
posted too, it appears the googlebot is fast about indexing things.
I just decided to call Scientific Atlanta and the person said all their 
model numbers are 4 digits so I sounds like I may have got the wrong 
make or model from the telco.
I did ask about a model about for multiple tvs and the person said they 
do have a multiroom model and when I asked about channel changing he 
said that was a problem with the multiroom models (having to change the 
channel in the room with the box even if it was a signal going to 
another room).
I think based on what I've found so far I may just stay with the cable 
company as I don't really won't to replace my dual-tuner PVR-500 setup 
with something more complex.
