Los Angeles, CA | TiVo HD and SDV Will this work with SDV? Time Warner here in Austin employs SDV from what I hear. I would hate to trade up to the TiVo HD, and subscribe to digital cable to find out that I cannot get all the channels that TW offers. |

Cupertino, CA | From what I understand, the TiVo HD has the same limitation as the Series3 TiVo which means no SDV support.  |

Cable Co's as of July 1st have to use Cable Cards. Since tivo takes cable cards, they will be ok. Also tivo ceo mentioned something about it working with SDV via a 3rd party add-on. nothing definate yet. |

The Motorola and SA DVRs the cable companies use have the two-way communication built-in so they can take advantage of VOD and SDV. The TiVo DVRs do not have two-way communication hardware in the boxes. It has nothing to do with the CableCards. |
