Re: not the easiest thing Agreed. Here's an idea to help the tech's... don't require a tech to install it. Any monkey can install and setup a cablecard... that's why they were designed the way they were. Unfortunately, most cable companies require a tech to install and charge some outrageous install fee to do something that anyone can do themselves and call in to activate.
The only thing I'll add for Sat cards is that the card isn't actually doing the decoding, it just carries an ID and authorization, the tuner in the box still decodes the video. For CableCards, both is happening on the card. Or so I understand it. |
