Nick,

Thanks a lot. I think that makes sense. And can you use the HDHomeRun with a
digital box? Like this:
https://www.rogers.com/web/content/personal-about/hardware (First one,
"DIGITAL TERMINAL").

So do you basically use the HDHomerun for the HD chans you get with an
antenna or some such means, and the 150 for all the rest in regular cable
tv?

Thanks very much
Bob
