Yes the new Tivos have cable cards. Tivo has put a lot of effort into
trying to making sure that the cable companies have to abide by the
mandate to use and support cable cards. If the cable companies are
allowed to get around cable card and move on to the next technology or
continue with their legacy technology, then Tivo can't be assured
their cable card boxes will get reliable support from the cable
companies.
