A quick followup on this: Technical support later told me that the signal
out the back of the ONT was encrypted, and I would need cablecards or STBs
on each set/tuner.

I then spoke with the installer who was scheduled to actually do the work,
and he contradicts that: he says *nothing* is encrypted out the back of the
ONT, but it *is* QAM-256, and you need a new enough tuner to see it -- which 
the HDHR Tech *is*.

I'm not sure I believe that they're sending unencrypted premium and pay
channels out the back; I'm assuming if that were true, I'd have heard it
by now; can anyone confirm or deny?

Cheers,
