The reason I ask is because of the fact that they mux a lot of channels onto a single
frequency.

Maybe the more savvy guys here can correct me - but I'm thinking instead of needing 10 analog tuners, if the CATV folks have more than one channel of interest available on a single analog freq, then a single digital tuner can record those multiple streams for you.

First, it's a matter of finding out what digital channels (if any) are available to you.
