Re: Never will work The problem is you practically have to wave firearms at the MSO to get them to cut loose with a CableCARD, and even then Comcast charges a ridiculous installation fee plus monthly rental, so that "consumers could get CableCARDs and a TiVO" is not quite as simple as the industry would like Karl to believe. Been there, done that. |

kudos:3 | I'll agree with you on the fees. It doesn't take a degree to install a cable card. Power down the device, insert card (anyone with an older laptop has likely used this type of card already) power on device, go into the menu, give numbers to operator.
The company would SAVE money by allowing self installs. In my opinion, give the chance for a self install. If you can't do it yourself and need a tech, then you should pay the roll. This is how Qwest used to do DSL installs.. (you did it for free, but you need a tech, you pay - makes sense) |
