There are 3 HD channels you can get on cox without using their HD box.  The channels are 12-1, 12-2, and 15-1.  One of them is just a weather channel but I have seen some decent HD shows on the others.

Just a quick correction: Unless Cox has started giving away their
service, you will not be able to connect anything to their equipment
and get HD video to a recording device.

All analog channels above 23 are scrambled and all digital channels
that aren't used for cabletv setup are encrypted, requiring a cable
box or cable card to decrypt. Additionally, the transmission
modulation for cable tv is different than OTA HDTV. ATSC with 8VSB is
used for over the air, and NTSC via QPSK(64 or 256) is used for
cabletv in the US.
    

ok,
I find that rather interesting.
I can decode HD signaling with my current Happauge card on cox cable here.
I don't have anything other than basic cable (no extra boxes) so how is it
that I have all 99 base channels and 13 HD channels?

are you sure they don't have some low pass filtering on your service?
