The Scientific Atlanta 3250HD box (offered in most Cox systems with HD capability) DOES have component input. The "regular" SA3250's do not. Usually, people with HDTV are the only ones who need the component inputs,
Yeah, Cox doesn't work with TiVo, mostly because they want you to use DVR, which is rolling out to all systems this year. (We're getting it next month, I'm on the beta team.) They don't have telephone out here until 1Q 2005, but I'm on the beta team for that, too.
And I'd like to comment, that most people I talk to in NC (my system) get pissed because they don't pay their bill and go to DBS, then come back as soon as they realize heavy cloudcover + dish = no picture. It rains in NC 285 days a year
