Default black box w/ HD Receiver??

Hi everyone.

I have basic cable, and I had a question about upgrading to HD service.

I have a black box that decodes the premium channels for me and it
works quite well. However I am thinking about upping to the HD service
(w/ DVR) and wanted to know if I would run into any complications with
my black box working with the premium HD channels that they provide.

Below is a list of the premium channels that my cable company
broadcasts in HD (or there will be sister-stations that will be
broadcast in HD):

HBO
Showtime
Cinemax
STARZ!
TMC HD

How will I be able to (if possible) view the premium HD channels using
the HD receiver + black box.

thanks!
jon

You should call your cable company and ask them.

From my interpation of your "black box", you mean it illegally gets your
premium channels free. Why don't you pay for those services like most all of
us ?
