I read the Forbes article. I bought 3 boxes from HDDVRTV.com. They spent 30 minutes on the phone helping me understand what I needed to know. The boxes arrived in a timely manner but without the HDMI cables. They promise to send those separately. Midcontinent Cable provided the cablecards. One quick call to Midcontinent Cable got the cablecards activated. Everything seems to be working fine. HDDVRTV.com can be difficult to contact and their post-sales support is lacking but I now own 3 set-top boxes for a lot less than having to rent and A LOT less than TiVo.
