I'm not MZ, but I can tell you that the WEP key has nothing to do with functioning cablecards. WEP is purely about wireless networking and nothing else.
Think of it this way: your TiVo needs to talk to two different sources of information. One is your cable company, where it gets the TV picture, and the other is TiVo, where it gets the guide information. The cablecards control the access to your cable company. The network connection on the TiVo controls the access to TiVo. The network connection can be wireless, in which case you need to supply the right wireless network access information, also known as a WEP key. Hope that helps. - Jeff On 12/21/2007 7:58 AM, sanr wrote: > > > MZ, > > I'm a little confused here by these two messages.
