The whole downconverting the resolution if the video is not HDMI compliant thing bothers me.

My brother just purchased a CableCARD compatible HDTV a couple of months ago. He got a CableCARD from Time Warner. He used it for about a month and had so many problems with it he switched back to the digital cable box. It seemed he had to call Time Warner daily for support and they usually were very unhelpful.

Only way is to use your TELEPHONE.. NOt the celphone..
Otherwise you have to use 2way sat, and they AINT setup for it..
