Yup--cable guy hooked mine up. That's what the instructions say to do, and the anti-monopoly directions say they should without balking.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks, guys! I'm pretty sure they'll come out and hook it up--for a fee. But I'll call them just to be sure.

You're already at HD, Cash? They might, then. Mine didn't since I was switching to HD at the time and it was all the one effort.

RCN didn't charge me a setup fee either, but I was also upgrading to digital cable at the time. They do charge me $1.50/month for each of the two cablecards ($3/month total), in addition to the digital cable charge, but I save money by not needing a cable box.

But you're paying a monthly fee to TiVo, right?

Nope -- I got a lifetime subscription, baby!
Which they are now offering again.

Yeah, we're already HD. I think the combination of renting the DVR + their monthly service fee for the DVR "package" comes to somthing like $22/month, so the Tivo deal with the lifetime subscription should pay for itself over the life of the machine.

How do I edit text in a jpg?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
You'd have to use some kind of image-editing software to erase what's there and replace it. It's not like the text is stored separately -- it's part of the graphic.
