Sure, no problem. With your digital cable, can you get any channels
without going through the box? The Adelphia site seems to say that
"non-premium" channels can be used that way, but I haven't tried it (I
guess this calls for some experimentation). It would be nice to be able
to watch a different channel than I'm recording.. it's ridiculous how
the cable giants take away fair use in the name of progress..

Yeah. Channels 1-61 and (I think channel 98). That means you can get 38
(cartoon network) and 60 (comedy central) without a digital box (ie: by
using capture card tuner). Sorry TechTv's at 294, so you'll need the
digital box for that :(
