Hello all, I'm generally pretty quiet on this list but I thought I post
a thanks and my stats after I cancelled cable yesterday (which took 25
@$#! minutes). Charter/Spectrum (St. Louis area) phased out support for
cable cards. It was well past the on-or-after date of 5/25, and some
channels went earlier, but yesterday service was completely cut,
rendering my two HDHR Prime units useless. (They can only do CC, right?)
I will have Myth running still, and may revisit getting an OTA tuner,
but for now I just moved Hulu and Disney up to the Live TV version.
Some things that will definitely be a downgrade are: the speedy response
with local files; choosing and customizing a remote to how I want to use
it, and relatedly having "power" actions such as page up/down or a
closed-caption button, multiple skip options, etc; zoom/stretch options,
including manual zoom to look at a spot on screen or move the news
ticker off the bottom; sorting and grouping channels and a nice guide;
and probably lots of other things I'll learn as I get aggravated with
further use.

I kind of thought it was earlier than this, but I can't remember a clean
rebuild or lost backup. I did have GB-PVR for a few years before. (The
latest recording is probably taking into account failed ones today - I
need to delete the rules.)
