LOL, Stevey 1337, I came here to post the same thing after reading the article via RSS. Here's my note from Albany, NY area TWC service after I got my Tivo HD with Multi-cable card service and suddenly couldn't get Food Network HD or Discovery HD, my favorite HD channels, only recently added:
"Thank you for contacting Time Warner.
The channels you are not receiving in addition to the on demand stations require two-way communication. These stations are referred to as Switched Digital Video (SDV).
Currently there are no devices on the market that are 2-way capable. As this is the case, the cable cards available today are 1-way communication devices.
It is anticipated that later this year 2-way capable devices will be hitting the market. Panasonic announced earlier this year it will be introducing a digital tuner that will have this capability. As these products become available in the market we will be able to supply 2-way communication cable cards to use with these devices. "
