I was just delivered by Charter a new SA8300HDC which uses a 2 way Cable Card. Can the new TiVoHD use this new 2 way cable card? This card also allows one to progam the box to pass through 1080i, 730p, 480p, 480i all WIDESCREEN. Thus, all broadcasts now automatically occupy the 16 by 9 format without any distortion even from non-HDTV channels.
It was so new that the tech they sent was unable to set it up for me. I had to call the Charter office and get someone to guide me through the setup. It took me 2 hours. The office had informed me that they were legally obligated to use these new cable cards since July 1, 2007.
It allows one to receive VOD, PPV and SD broadcasts. When it was installed, I had to give the Charter Tech at the office the serial number of my Cable Box AND the serial number of the installed Cable Card.
If TiVoHD can use this, it becomes just as flexible as the SA8300HDC with all the added on TiVo benefits.
