If you want all the services Oceanic provides, you NEED to rent their cable box. Since I have a capable Tivo and don’t want music channels, pay per view, on demand, or even a ton of premium channels, I can go for the CableCard for HD content.

But, Oceanic’s switch to SDV makes CableCards worthless. The new SDV tuning adapters are coming out to CableCard customers to get SDV content so I hope by going with CableCards now, I can get an SDV tuning adapter when released and get HD channels cheaper.

At least this was the case the other year.
