Reader David commented on a previous post that Time Warner Cable of San Antonio, TX has a link to order a free Tuning Adapter to enable SDV on TiVo Series3, TiVo HD, or TiVo HD XL units.

Is anyone else seeing Time Warner offer Tuning Adapter pre-orders in their area
TiVo has had a long and troubled history in Canada. It was three years ago, way back in September of 2005 that TiVo extended their service into Canada, but they still didn't officially sell units there...to them at an affordable rate without lots of extra dongles and cables.
