I think there's just the HD and the HD XL. The only difference between those two is the size of the hard drive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty sure I have two CableCards in mine, though.
Getting 1TB of storage tomorrow. Very excited. No S4 for me anytime soon. I'm happy.

Mine has two slots, but at least one of them accepts CableCard-M, which is what my cable company prefers.

I have the original S3 (pre-HD and HD XL), and I remember the instructions being pretty clear that you needed 2 cable cards; it wouldn't work with just one. But maybe newer cablecard technology made those instructions obsolete? Or maybe the newer S3 machines have updated cablecard-reading hardware?

The original S3 needs two single stream cards. All other Series 3 can use either one multistream or dual singlestream cards.

Weaknees calls out three dual tuner HD models. I'm guessing mine goes both ways.

Thanks, ND. So I could save $1.50/month by upgrading. Errr... maybe not.

Ah - I was so late to the upgrade party I didn't realize there were older versions.
IOTivoN, my shiny new-to-me-but-probably-refurbished one is happily updating its software right now in the other room. So far my favorite feature is how it's not rebooting every fifteen minutes for no reason.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There was NO LINE at Tekserve tonight. Awesome. I'm used to waiting for at least an hour.
Meanwhile, there were no Genius Bar reservations available until Saturday.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I realize I'm off topic for the thread but I figure it's worth a shot. Would anyone be able to recommend a power sander for refinishing furniture?
