No this isn't another
demo at a trade show, but instead a real life solution for TiVo owners to address the incompatibility with 3rd party
CableCARD host devices and recently very popular
Switched Digital Video (SDV). Late last week
Comcast sent some of its customers that were renting CableCARDs, a letter letting them know the
Tuning Adapter would be available today and Jesse, a lucky member of
TiVo Community, scored a
Cisco STA1520 Tuning Adapter today from Comcast in NJ and finally gained access to all those new HD channels he'd be denied up until now -- assuming SDV is even already deployed where he lives. So if you've been
waiting over a year to get your hands on one of these, now might just be the time to start calling your provider and giving them a hard time. The full picture after the jump.
[Thanks, Jesse!]
