From the sounds of it the new head cheese at the FCC is consumer hostile as well.. I've read comments from him that he thinks ISPs should be able to charge Netflix more money because more of their traffic happens to be going to the ISPs customers. Now I get to do the CableCard tapdance and hope Comcast doesn't screw me over more. Only reminds me of the line in Star Wars: "I have altered the deal, pray I don't alter it further</div>

There was a bit of back-and-forth as I tried to get them to mail me a card and they said they would and then didn't, eventually I just went to the office and picked one up. They only had M-cards there, so that wasn't even an issue. Once I got it home activation went off without a hitch.</div>
