I have a 150 and it works well with Cox (I just have extended basic).   I have 
no idea what will happen after the great fiasco next February.    I have 4 
old school TV's and the Mythbuntu box all hooked up to cable, so I'm hoping 
they'll just work.   I'm sure Cox will find a way to get a nice rate increase 
in for this.
