Tuning adapters are here! Well, not HERE here...

Thanks to reader Kevin for sending along this link to a slideshow from a lucky Time Warner Cable subscriber in Austin, who appears to be one of the first in the nation to get a tuning adapter for use with his Time Warner-crippled TiVo.

Just last week, the corporate spokesdude for Time Warner Cable told me that as soon as the not-so-demure devices were available in Kansas City, "you will be the first to know." And you, dear reader, will be the second.
