Good news for Series 3 buyers because this could have set a bad precedent fro other cable companies

So how does this Time Warner news reconcile with this (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=4246104&&#post4246104) Time Warner news?

The applicable points:

2. He has told me that the CSR(s) that I talked to, did not have the correct information to give me. He said that all of the currently available programming in a local TWC channel lineup, be it: analog, digital, standard-definition or high-definition will remain available to the cablecard and will not use SDV.

3. He assured me that when SDV is deployed it is only going to be for new programming only - anything not currently on a local TWC channel lineup. (That is a huge relief - so I might just buy a TIVO S3 now).

That's a relief?!?

It seems like that would be a problem as they add your local RSN in HD, ESPN2 in HD, Starz in HD...etc., all in SDV and not available to the TiVo.

This is not news, the post to which he's referring is on this forum.
