<div>Who's your cable provider? And how do a I tell this? I have TWC, and they only unencrypt straight through cable the OTA channels (cbs/fox/cw/etc.) but with a CableCard cabable device are you saying I could get basically everything but the premiums (ie get discovery/espn/etc which are given free if i rent a cable box)? Just trying to understand all of this.</div>
