[mythtv-users] can I buy my own digital cable box for use withTime warner digital cable?

[Dean Collins]

Last time I looked at cablecard the cable tv providers had 'hobbled' the service.

You couldn't get on demand video using it (this may have changed in the last 2 years).

The Motorola DCH-3200 (and possibly others) has a CableCard -

I have it and it came with the CableCard pre-installed.
