Yes, they're switching existing channels to SDV, and from my discussion with one of their CSRs, it sounds like all new channels will be rolled out to SDV. The offers they've got for CableCARD device owners are a free CableCARD or digital set top box for 6 months. They knew jack shit about tuning adapters for TiVo owners; didn't even have a timeline.
I don't have the full list of channels that are moving handy, but I recall most of the East Coast movie channel feeds were switching, all of the HD VIP pack, and a lot of the foreign language and specialized sports channels were all being moved to SDV.
