Thanks Ron!
Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a cable card slot. This
may make it difficult to use the QAM tuner, as almost all cable
systems are encrypting their digital tiers, except for the OTA
channels.

My only question would be why the above quoted point even needs to be
made. Shouldn't it be obvious? If they felt it important to offer the
NTSC receiver built-in previously, why is it necessary to justify that
digital doesn't change the fundamental equation?
How many analog VCRs came with dual tuners so you could watch while
recording?
One could argue that the receivers had a tuner, but you can now
make the same argument for most digital receivers. The Panasonic
product may be aimed at folks like me that have HD monitors; if I
wanted to have the equivalent to the HD cable DVR I have now, using
only off-air signals, two tuners would be a great feature. The same
would be true for cable subscribers, IF these DVD recorders have a
digital cable tuner as well as the ATSC tuners. i could not find
any mention of digital cable tuning capabilities in a quick search
of the Panasonic web site.
