Yes, it's true that the Verizon cable modem/router does suck the guide<br>
data off and spit it back out via coax to all the Verizon STB's, but<br>
that's guide data, not channel data. The HDHR Prime or other cable<br>
card devices have no access to the guide data at all, only the channel<br>
map, which is something completely different.<br>
