4 digit to 2 digit HD channel transition
Received a notice that the 1000+ channels are goign away, being replaced by the double and triple digit companion channels. Does this affect CableCard non Cox DVR equipment as well?

This is called "re-mapping" the virtual channels. It probably will effect t any presets on your equipment. For example, if you're set to record channel 1005, you'll need to change the recording to channel 5. If you have a customized view of a channel guide, you'll probably need to adjust it.
You were receiving the "digital companion" frequency-channels all along...just not using them because they were probably a lower format.
In 2009, if Digital TV was the future, providers should have originally mapped the SD channels to 1000+. What difference would it have made? We were already in its understanding phase.
