<br>I was thinking to switching to it then as when bundling with other services like telephone it's cheaper then cable.<br>Unfortunately unlike the cable company they require the use of a set top box which I don't think will work with my PVR-500 as well.
<br>I called them up to see what information I could get on the set top boxes and they said the following:<br>1. The set top is Scientific Atlanta model 303, 403 or 630 depending on what you ordered.<br>2. You only need one set top box per every 3 tvs.
<br>3. The boxes have USB but not Firewire.<br>From looking online I can't find anything about those models and I don't see how #2 is possible and without Firewire it appears it won't be that easy to use with mythtv.
<br>I decided to post here and see if anyone knew anymore more this.<br>If not I can ask on Tuesday when they show a demo of the service.<br>Justin<br>_________________________________________________________________</blockquote>
