Actually, you'll likely be stuck with analog. Time Warner marks 
everything as copy protected, so a CableCard tuner is not an option.  At 
most, you will only get the local broadcast channels over unencrypted 
digital cable, and as of the middle of last year, that is no longer an 
FCC requirement.  You should expect to have to capture analog video off 
your cable box.
