But with encryptd cable as Cox is doing no matter if you get a DVR or not (So long as it is not a special over priced one from COX) it won't work without a set top box.. Thankfully most better DVR's can control a set top box via an I/R Blaster but still...
Where I am I get around 100 cable channels.. I actually only watch one for 2 hours a day.. (TV-Land, Dukes of Hazzard) My favorite channel is 3-2 ME TV.
Don't bet on even the most recent and up to date DVRs controlling the new DTA units. The DTA my Dad got from Cable co is a real pain, can't find any large 6 button remotes that have the codes for it.. He can't see the tiny little buttons on the supplied remote!
Basically you would have to teach a remote one button at a time (IF the DVR has this capability). Pretty much a common complaint when it comes to these new DTA units (which by the way are about the size of a computer mouse).
