</div>That doesn't make sense to me. Cablecards are 1 way devices and don't<br>
rely on internet access. Furthermore, they don't even have the<br>
capability to be networked. So what is relying on the router? Is it<br>
the tuning adapter (though that shouldn't affect the channel linup)?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Or does FIOS actually have a coax cable output from the router to go<br>
into your cablecard devices?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This. The Actiontec sucks program guide info off the network cable and injects it onto the coax. I used to have problems with having to reboot the Actiontec because it would periodically destabilize my lan, so I stopped using it a long time ago. </div>
