Hi,

I was able to get my Ceton paired under linux.  About the only
different I said to the CSR on the phone was to make sure to send the
signal for a one-way device.  CableCARDs are two-way capable, but the
Ceton device is not.  From what I have read elsewhere, Tivo's are
two-way devices and most of the CSR's probably assume that's what you
have (even if you say this is for the Ceton).

I'm not sure if this is your hangup, or perhaps you have a bad
CableCARD.  I didn't have any trouble at all, so I can't really be of
much help with your diagnosis.

Good luck.
