I have just ordered an HDHomerun Prime. I suscribe to Time Warner and
have tested using Firewire to see what channels would be available to
me. The Time Warner website says that 2 different CableCards are
available (both are for the same price):
--Tru2way® devices are two-way capable and allow you to receive nearly
all TWC services (The only exception is DVR service which requires, a
DVR set-top box).
--Unidirectional Digital Cable Products (UDCPs) are one-way devices
and can access basic and digital channels, although channels are
delivered via Switched digital.
I suspect that UDCP will do the trick for just recording the channels.
I think the Tru2way card is primarily for get pay per view to work,
which I can't imagine being able to record. But since they are the
same price, should I get the Tru2way anyway? Are there advantages
over one or the other? Will the UDCP card support recording 3
channels, since they are delivered via the Switched digital? Will the
prime even record "copy freely" channel with the Tru2way card?
Thanks for any help,
Dan
