A while back I posted a nasty rant about Cox Communications and their "2-way" service. Were I more knowledgeable about the cable industry, I might have known that they are utilizing something called Switched Digital Video (SDV) - where your cable box actually "turns on" the channels it needs, allowing their network bandwidth to be better utilized. The channels I cannot receive on my Tivo Series 3 today are the SDV channels.
Now it turns out Cox is also offering a SDV Tuning Adapter to Cox customers with HD Tivo units - and it's free. This is, in my opinion, a great thing.
Also see the Tivo FAQ on SDV for more information.
