</div>Tom, I went in this morning, they said they did not have any of the<br>
self install kits, but the guy grabbed a card off the shelf and<br>
printed out the self install instructions from his computer for me.<br>
Perhaps you should ask at one of your local offices?<br>
<br>
I think I was lucky I got someone that knew what CableCard's were, the<br>
other lady there didn't and was asking us all sorts of questions about<br>
them, so it's probably very hit-miss if you get someone that knows.<br>
<br>
I'm currently on hold to activate mine...<br>

It's not clear to me what will be decoded by the card, whether copy-freely, or whatever the flags are. Will I be able to get premium programming like HBO? </div><div><br></div><div>Right now, I have a dual-tuner HDHR (for unencrypted content) and an HD-PVR with its own dedicated STB (for premium programming). Often, I could use another tuner for premium content, so this CableCard development is intriguing. I would also be up for ditching the $15/month STB for a cheaper CableCard with more tuners.</div>
