I put in my CableCard a week or two back with Comcast, and it took me 2
tries to get it properly activated.  I looked/posted here, and some of
the advice to me was that frequently they'd get the card properly
activated, but not properly associated with my Cable account.  So after
my first activation attempt, the card said it was activated, but I
believe on the CableCard Status screen it "Status: Not Staged" where now
it says, "Status: Ready".

A second call to Comcast, carefully mentioning what I knew so far, and
she gave it another try.  She also gave me a different number to call in
case what she suggested didn't work.

I must say, the Comcast people have been courteous and helpful in all of
this.
