You're prob not gonna like this I'd say you're SOL unless you buy another box...Otherwise you can just split the cable wire before it reaches the box and plug it into your HDtv..then scan for digital channels and be happy with free broadcasted HD and the occasional pro.n channel that your neighbor ordered on PPV.

Dish Network receivers are capable of doing exactly that. You can either mirror the output of your mail tuner to any other tv or split your dual-tuner DVR into 2 single tuners and have separate control.

AFAIK Comcast receivers can't do that but I have heard that FIOS can...
