no, i don't. they didn't even warn me (that i know of).  one day i
turned on the tv and it was just snow. :(  i've debated upgrading to
the digital box, but i really don't want to rent one more thing.  and
even if i did rent their box my Mythbox wouldn't be as useful as it
had been since you'd need a separate digital box for each tuner card
you had.  so no more recording three programs at the same time.
of course, you can pay a little more in your monthly rental fee and
get a Comcast dvr without as many features...
