I have been running a ceton 4 tuner card now for about 8 months. To
activate my ceton I picked up a cable card from comcasts local outlet
and then called the support number for cable cards. Everything went
quite smooth. Only problem I had was that they had at some time put a
filter on my line at the street and they had to remove it. It was
blocking some of my TV stations.
