[mythtv-users] Scientific Atlanta 3250 HD STB

[Brian Meehan]

So far as I've heard, only the SA3250 and the Moto6200 are supported,
but your mileage may vary. My tech was very nice in that he stayed
while I did my troubleshooting steps. Mostly, I think it was because
he was interested in the technology.

Best of luck! Please be sure to post which channels you can get.

Stupid TW fact that I learned through all this: The "franchise fee"
that is itemized on your bill is the amount that TW is charged by the
local utility pole owners in your neighborhood to run cable over the
poles or under the ground. Some villages/towns will subsidize the cost
down as low as $0.10, other will be as high as $8.00. Luck of the
draw, I s'pose.
