Comcast doesn&#8217;t yet support a device like the <a href=\"http:\/\/broadband.motorola.com\/noflash\/dct6208.html\">Motorola DCT6208<\/a>,  so no luck there either.  That would effectively be a combined Cable Box, HD Tuner, and PVR in one.  And, as far as I know, there are no HDTV-tuner cards (for computers) that support <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DigiCipher_2\">digicipher 2<\/a>, which is how Comcast sends the HD signal out to their boxes.<\/p>\n<p>So that kind of sucks.  I guess there aren&#8217;t many people utilizing HD via their cable company or this problem would have been solved by now.
