I would be interested to know if anyone has had a truly great experience with Cablecard. Or even a 'somewhat painless' experience.
I had one in my TV for 5 days, and it was a disaster. All I wanted was the ability to watch HD television, no Tivo, no cablebox, just television. The installers were clueless and phone support really didn't understand what I was talking about.
Cablecard is going nowhere until it just works, right out of the box and that is never going to happen.

Its working in my Samsung TV and my brother and father's Hitachi TVs just fine. Charter didn't know how to set them up at first, but now its a snap.

I had problems with my VIsta Media Center but that was caused by buggy firmware in the ATI Digital Cable Tuner. Can't fault Comcast for that.
