			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, to keep it short, we no longer us SFCN for our cable service.</p>
<p>I think it is very unfortunate that i was not able to get a response from them to get this resolved. I called Comcast last Thursday and they came out Friday morning and set it all up.</p>
<p>The kids TiVo works just the same as it always did. My TiVo now has HD channels (love it). Our extra TV in the loft now has a digital box that features On-Demand. My kids think that is pretty great as it comes with whole lot of Children's programming.</p>
<p>SFCN <em>does</em> have a HD DVR available, but there is a waiting list. No Thanks.</p>
<p>In summary, SFCN is a decent cable provider. Unless you want to use something that is able to use a CableCARD. Such as a TiVo.</p>
<p>Now if Comcast can just catch up with the latest DirecTV HD announcements.</p>
<p>Buh-bye SFCN. Hello Comcast!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not too long ago I got a new TiVo HD. Since I live in <a href="http://www.spanishfork.org" target="_blank">Spanish Fork</a> I naturally subscribe to the cable service from the city (<a href="http://www.sfcn.org" target="_blank">SFCN</a>). It works great, has great channel line-ups and the Internet is pretty good.</p>
<p>The downside I see that they I can't record any HD content. I DO receive the HD channels via my analog cable. It causes the local OTA channels to show up in the 100+ range. (i.e. OTA:5-1 = Cable:111-3).</p>
<p>I called TiVo to attempt to resolve this issue. They said the only way is with CableCARD's. They gave me a case number and let me know they would get it resolved for me.</p>
<p>Apparantly the FCC says that if a cable provider offers cable boxes (<a href="http://www.sfcn.org/sfcn/cabletv/rates.htm" target="_blank">SFCN Does</a>) that they are required to offer CableCARD's. A year ago, I asked sfcn via email and they indicated to me that they do not offer them.</p>
<p>Ugh. The question remains whether or not I jump ship to Comcast so I can have CableCARD's OR go with DirecTV and give up TiVo altogether (not really interested in that).</p>
<p>I guess time will tell how this goes. Hopefully <a href="mailto:john@spanishfork.org">John Bowcut from Spanish Fork City</a> will get back to me with some good news.</p>
