Is there any way to get Comcast On Demand channels if accessing via a TiVo XL box?
-
Specifically, I have set up the TiVo XL with my comcast service using the the cablecard. I can get all the channels except on demand movie channels and on demand premier channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.). TiVo says Comcast blocks TiVo users from accessing these channels but I am wondering if there is a way to still get them.

Answer:
In general, no. TiVo and other retail DVRs rely on the current CableCard standard which is "one-way", meaning there is no back channel for the device to communicate with the on-demand system. TiVo and other CE manufacturers would love the cable industry to move to "two-way" CableCard, but this has yet to happen. TiVo did recently announce that Cox has plans to provide a special implementation of TiVo DVR with on-demand support for their subscribers: http://bit.ly/dpFl7i
