Does anyone one have a cable box different than the SA3100HD that TWC provides? From what I'm finding out this is an older model box and doesn't have as many features as the new ones now have. One feature in particular is the aspect ratio which allows changing the screen size while on a HD channel. If I had this feature I would never watch the local channels on the lower numbers again. Then I could enjoy the digital audio on all the local channels. :)

The SA 3100 HD is the latest box available from TW.  They  also have an older model the 2000 HD still out there.  Scientific Atlanta has released information about 2 new HD boxes. They are the SA4200 HD and a SA8000 HD.  The 4200 does have aspect ratio control.  The 8000 has aspect ratio plus HD recording ability. (HD Tivo)  The 4200 has just recently been reported to be available in the New York area on Cablevision.  We can only impatiently wait.
