Hi,
These may be elemental, but here goes-

1. When using the Series 3 box with two CableCards, will I theoretically be able to receive any station that I would get via a digital cable box? I believe the answer is yes, but I am setting one up for a customer and this is a question she'll have.

2. Can I record two Hi-Def shows at once? Again, I believe it is yes, but want to hear it from those who know...

3. The biggest drawback for many when using a CableCard is the lack of an interactive program guide. Am I correct in assuming that the Tivo Series 3, as all other Tivo units, provides it's own guide?

4. The Series 3 user FAQ states that 'Tivo To Go' is not currently enabled. I want to make sure that this is only a digital/HD download feature only. My customer wolud be copying to VHS. Should this function still be available?

Thank you all for your answers. I have a Tivo power-user for a customer, and want to be sure that this is the correct device for her.

Besides, we both know that I\'m training to be a cage fighter.
