<br><div class="gmail_quote">Hi everyone,<br><br>I am trying to figure out my options now that I have received a letter in the mail from Cablevision on Long Island (NY) informing me that "all your televisions will require a digital cable box by September 28, 2010. Also, without a digital cable box, your TV cannot access iO TV (r)." For those who don't know, iO TV is Cablevision's digital channel package (anything over channel 99). I have done some web searches which seem to indicate I will not be able to record anything unencrypted, even with digital tuner cards. I have one STB with an IR blaster, but currently I am also recording as much as possible with two other analog cards.<br>
<br>Does anyone know if the STB with firewire that Cablevision rents will provide any additional benefit? I am not renting three boxes, so I will have to look at alternatives if necessary.<br><br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888"><br>
