I am moving and ordering new cable service -- how do i determine whether i need a CableCARD or a "CableCARD with Tuning Adapter" -- I have one HD cable-ready tv and buying a second.

That's going to be an issue answered only by your new cable company. Ask them if they've deployed "Switched Digital Video" in your new area. If so, you will be required to utilize Tuning Adapters.

If you live in an area where Switched Digital Video (SDV) has been deployed, you will also need one or more Tuning Adapters from your cable TV provider in order to receive all digital cable TV channels.

- From the Ceton InfiniTV4 Detailed Installation Instructions.

I think it applies to all the Cablecard ready devices on the market.

This is my first post to this community. Please let me know if this is not the right forum for this question. It seems more gfx board related (a subject of interest to me, but not relevant to my question). thx
