It depends on the definition of soon. Comcast is in the process of deploying the S26 Guide, which is currently on hold but should start being deployed again in November. The Explorer 8300 will use the S26 Guide, but it will not support the next guide, the X1 guide which is currently scheduled for the end of 2013. Comcast is known for not meeting its schedule dates for guide deployments so I don't think there is any hurry to exchange it, unless you want to get the Cisco RNG 200N which has a bigger hard drive (500 GB).
