<div class="gmail_quote">Thanks for the heads-up. I had been thinking about switching to comcast. I guess I won't now. My only cable company choices where I live are comcast and knology. The knology tech came out a couple of weeks ago and installed a cablecard in my hdhr prime, which I bought so I could get rid of the crappy knology hd dvr/set-top box. </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">It worked fine for a few of the standard def digital channels but would not work with the HD digital channels I'm interested in (SPEED, ESPN, Discovery, etc.) So I assume that the cci flags aren't set to "copy freely". The tech didn't even know what that means. </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">The tech called his support and they said they were required by those stations to block recording of those stations. Which I think is probably not totally true because I've read that Charter allows recording of the non-premium HD digital channels. But whatever, there are other methods that do a reasonably good job of getting that content into my mythbox, though I would obviously prefer to use the hdhr prime.</div>
