We just had cable cards installed in our new Tivo HD and discovered there's a large block of HD channels we cannot get unless we rent the Cox HD-DVR. I previously made the mistake of trying to use the Cox DVR and public modesty prevents my characterization of it further. I will not even consider that alternative.
The solution I am seriously contemplating is getting the integrated TiVO-HD/DirecTV receiver and telling Cox to put their RG-6 where the sun don't shine.
DirecTV has its supply of warts, but in my experience with DirecTV, they are are materially less disgusting than Cox.
I did file an official complaint with the FCC on the matter, for whatever good that will do.
