HELP! Can someone please tell me how to edit a poll after it is posted? I forgot to add "I have cable and gear that can use a Cable Card, but use a set-top instead."

...2 in Tivo S3...

Out of curiosity, did you ask for Dual Stream cards for the S3? Were they available?

How about,

"Yes, in my Sony DHG-HDD500/250"?

I know there are a lot of those here, too.

Again, I'd do this myself, but edting polls by non-moderators isn't allowed or I'm just too damn daft to find it!

Using cablecards in BOTH my Sony DVR's and Philips TV with Fios. No problems.

I also use a cablecard in my Panasonic 50px50u and love it, but I don't know how much longer I'll be using it..... (read my thread on charter cable in this forum)
