I'm happy to report that RCN San Francisco does not either.

Once CableCARD 2.0 ships, what do y'all think are the odds of a
PCI-slot expansion board that comes with one or two CableCARD slots,
*regardless of Linux support*? I figure that having the hardware
actually available (as opposed to slots only being available on new,
presumably MCE-enabled, PCs) is more than 50% of getting MythTV
support done, and if it takes binary, non-free drivers for Linux
support--à la Nvidia or ATi--I don't mind as long as they
work.
