Yes, sort of... not a digital cable box, but a digital cable
DVR is available for sale there: It costs $300, plus you will be required to pay the vendor, TiVo, about $400 for on-going service, plus perhaps another few dollars per month for a decryption and channel-mapping card from the cable company, in order for it to work.
So figure $700 total. It isn't really intended to save money. Rather, it gives you a lot of great features and capabilities. And compared to a
DVR from the cable company, it does pay off eventually: Break-even is about two years.
