Re: Comcast says no HD boxes until possibly February???

Does your TV have a cable card slot? Are they possibly offering cable cards? Would you be opposed to getting a Tivo HD and having cable cards installed?

Would prefer not to have to pay more for a tivo box.

I quickly glanced into the user manual and it indeed doesn't appear to have a cablecard entry:

Only 2006 Tv's were manufactured with cablecard slots, in 2007 they gave them up.

The user guide indicates it can pick up unencrypted digital channels, so basic should get him local HD channels then, he'll have to wait for ESPN/HBO/Discover/etc though.
