Okay, I figured as much, but i wanted to ask anyway. I had read of others
with Comcast getting their premium channels to work, but I'm guessing now
that they were using something like WMC. I do have an HDPVR 1212 and have
toyed around with it, but it seemed that most people liked the HDHR Prime
better so I wanted to test that out as well. I guess in the end, I'll
probably end up using both if I want to capture my premium channels.

Anyhow, I appreciate all the feed back everyone has provided on getting my
Cable Card setup.
