Chris - That's in correct. The issues TiVo is working on are not signal related. You can feed the *same* cable into an original Series3 without any issues - or a cable box, or other digital cable tuner. The problem is specific to the TiVo HD, and it is a software issue - as evidenced by the fixes in b1 and b2 which have improved the situation for many users (but have not yet completely fixed it for all).
Most of the problems have been an interaction with Scientific Atlanta S-Cards - M-Cards and Motorola Cards are not immune, but are less likely to have issues.

It has nothing to do with the cable cards... its the signal going to the card.
