so, i'm intrested in purchasing a tivo HD for $300, until i see that i need two cableCARDS. So i do more research and i find out that my digital cable provider (Cox, San Diego) charges $2.00/month.

Here are my questions:

1) If i needed to lease 2 CARDS, do i pay $4.00 per month?

2) Does Tivo HD replace my existing cable box from Cox?

3)If so, can I return my existing cable box to Cox?

4) And finally, whatever happened to Cox offering a tivo interface for their DVRs? I would be very intrested in that! Anyone know?

2) Does Tivo HD replace my existing cable box from Cox?
Yes

Some day it may be available depending on the type of set-top box your local Cox uses.

I was told the cox card is a multi stream and I only need 1. I'll verify on Thursday after they come to install it :)
