HD TiVo and some cable system incompatibilities

A few people have emailed me asking why their HD TiVo doesn't work with their Time Warner cable system in some parts of the country and Lauren Weinstein has a lengthy explanation about Switched Digital Video and why it is incompatible with current one-way CableCARDs.

There's also a helpful follow-up post on steps the cable industry is taking to ensure customers on their systems can still use CableCARD devices like HD TiVo (with a USB dongle).
