LndnTex join:2003-07-23 College Station, TX	LndnTex Member 2007-Oct-22 4:47 pm CableCard Based? I'm curious if it uses a CableCard or if it has Comcast's built in decryption hardware. I thought all the new hardware had to be CableCard based?

No, only newly purchased equipment must have CableCards. All cable companies can and will continue to use all existing equipment in their warehouses.

So you still have all the box issues PLUS you get a SHINY NEW TIVO FEE on your comcast bill!
