It might be worth doing some sniffing around your provider - Charter, for
example, is going to 'Switched Digital Video' for all HD channels here in
St. Louis, which will negate the cable card we're now using for HD.

Won't be long before accessing any outside program source will require an
STB. Uverse, for example, already provides distribution-over-ethernet.
