[quote=UCGal]You need to see if your solution works with SDV if you plan to stay with Time Warner. In order to get switched digital video (SDV) channels on our Tivo – we need a tuning adaptor.

It’s a total kludge. I’m not a fan. I probably have to powercycle the tuning adaptor at least once a month. But Time Warner has been switching more and more channels to SDV.
Here’s a list of channels that are SDV (so you’d need a tuning adaptor.)

And here’s a list of what devices work with the tuning adaptor (to allow you to get the SDV channel.s)

I’ve heard the exact same things from other people. The SDV adapters seem to be very buggy. I doubt TW is in any hurry to fix them since it means that you’re stuck with their crappy Cisco/Scientific Atlanta DVR boxes if you don’t want the hassle of an SDV adapter.

Not sure if you still need an adapter for DirecTV or Dish. I would consider switching but unfortunately TW has a monopoly on certain channels like NBA TV that I’m not willing to give up.
