I guess I was a bit naive to think that my CableCARD setup would be trouble free. I suppose I should be glad it’s not as bad as other peoples’ experiences.
The Comcast tech came to install the cards yesterday, and it seemed to work except I was not receiving some digital channels like NFLNet, HBO, [...]
