First you could rent an HDTV converter from Cox. These usually come with DVRs attached, but I'm pretty sure you can just get the converter box if that's all you need. You can also bypass the box completely and request a cable card for your TV (if you TV supports it) and then all you need is your TV, but won't have DVR capabilities. Finally, you can buy a series 3 TiVo or a cable card Media Center next year and then get a cablecard from cox. My plan is to get a series 3 TiVo, but everybody has their own preference about what their favorite DVR or set up is.
