Thanks, that could be a good option. I’ve heard horror stories about ‘cablecard’ and google searches turn up a lot of older hits with complaints. Guessing they have the bugs worked out now ?

They usually make someone come out to install the card though, so just an fyi. Comcast was a pain in the beginning getting it installed as there “tech’s” don’t really know anything about how to install it, but that was last year. Sould be easier now. -Greg From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 2:00 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT: Media Center tuner card for Comcast I have the $12 basic cable package, and my ancient tuner card works fine still (last time I checked) Is that the cable package you are curious about... I can check what card I have later if interested.
