cool, hopefully I'll be able to pick one of these up relatively soon. I just got a Tivo HD and I'm not at all happy with my CableCARD. at least 50 channels show up as "to be announced" in the program guide, so it basically makes the Tivo worthless since i can't schedule any recordings (I could do a manual VCR type scheduling, but the defeats the purpose of Tivo) I called Tivo and they said it was TWC's fault, I called TWC, they said it was Tivo's fault, surprise surprise.

I've been reading about this for a while now, but I can't remember any details on how it is we're supposed to get get our hands on this thing. Is it something we rent? Will be be able to buy it in a B&M store? Buy it online? Is it free for those of us who have been forking out $10 a month for 11 HD channels and 30+ SDV-only HD channels?

That doesn't look like HD to me.

The picture in the post isn't of the tuning resolver but of a set-top box that looks sort of like the tuning resolver. I was wondering the same thing until I read the article fully.

The final product wont "look" HD anyways. All it does is resolve where the SDV channels sit on your cable network and then recode them back over the signal to your 3rd party CC device so that it can see the channels. It is basically an inline device that will sit between the cable jack on your wall and your HD Set Top Box with Cable Cards.
