kudos:1 | My Time Warner doesn't "hide" CableCard info Go to »www.twdayton.com/, point to Products, then Cable, and there's CableCard listed just like a regular service they offer. They do list the limitations of CableCards. Does that mean they're pointing out the faults or downsides or are they being upfront ?? That, of course, depends on whether or not you like or dislike cablecos. |

Comcast wants $25 to bring one out in Chicagoland, and that's all they do...bring it out. My TV automagically recognizes it and programs itself accordingly but you'll never get out of the "install fee". And, you have to be home all day for the "appointment". Typical.
I decided to not worry about it even though it would be nice to get the digital-only channels directly on the TV. There are other ways to do that that don't require Comcast's help.

Dracut, MA | There is more to it then just sliding in the card, info needs to be input on the DAC to recognize the card, and Call/service center reps do not have access to DAC. Yes your TV gives you all the pairing data but that has to be input manually. Remember the TV itself isnt a 2 way device so there is no way for that info to get back to comcast short of someone contacting the proper dept. |
