Grant is correct. The digital switch only applies to OTA (Over the Air). Cable
operators could do whatever they want.

Not sure why the PVR-150 isn't just working out of the box for you. I know
there were some complaints about Hauppauge quietly putting another device in
the box. And that's because of the switch over. As of March 1, 2007
manufacturers had to include a digital tuner if they included an analog tuner.
This included computer interface cards as well. I believe the new Hauppauge is
a PVR-1600 with dual tuner (NTSC & ATSC).

Good luck.
