no, it does not. actually, I have had it over a year and it has never been used-apparently when the FCC mandated a completely digital signal after Jan. 31, 2009it created a situation where the tuner does not "see" channels so they can be loaded. I also have a Toshiba machine with the same problem. This is a pet gripeof mine-none of the Tivos or cable co. dvrs contain a computer drive like these did; you used to be able to record to the hard drive, and then edit and save to a blank disc if it was something you wanted to archive. The fact that I PAY for cable and can't even do what I want with it makes me nuts! no, it does not. actually, I have had it over a year and it has never been used-apparently when the FCC mandated a completely digital signal after Jan. 31, 2009it created a situation where the tuner does not "see" channels so they can be loaded.

I use this unit to get "air" digital and record it just fine. No card used, needed or accessible in this unit. It is not a DirecTV or DISH style unit. It is used instead of either of those two .. in my set up. I am not sure what exactly Michael is referring to when he stated "...a situation where the tuner does not "see" channels ..." because mine sees all the local, digital "air" channels. It is not a "satellite" receiver. And it works very well as intended.

You just need one cablecard which is fairly inexpensive. The first card may actually be free.

Yes. But be aware-the box only works if you have a cable card installed. it will not work with a direct cable or antenna, only.

Yes. I have it plugged I to cable from cable tv company. This is all I need

Nope. As far as I know there are no cable services where on demand currently works with cablecard.

Yes it does, but I don't recommend that you buy this item Motorola no longer supports it, and Comcast told me that it is at "End of Life" status. Find a newer model that will be supported by the cable company.

It does not have anywhere to put a card... Isn't that what a cable/satellite box is for? The card goes in the box provided by the cable service provider.

I don't know for sure but I would say no since I don't remember that little device having an access point for a cable plug. I no longer use my iView and I've packed it away for 2 years now when my area transitioned from analog to digital.

Hi Peter, no the cable card slot means you can put a cable card in there. Some cable companies will allow you to insert a card (they supply) instead of having a set-top box. The other connections are worth the money if you plan on using them. The FireWire and USB would be great if you plan on hooking a media reader or DV camera to the television to look at pictures or movies. Remember, these can be used as computer monitors as well so computers ports or becoming much more common.

Yes, it has cable in and cable out to TV. We bought the actual cables at Amazon, but other stores have them. They are under $5.00!

No, there's an adapter that slides into the card on one end and attaches to coax on the other.

I only needed 1 cable card with Comcast. All 4 tuners work at the same time with it. It must be an M-card.

No it does not, it does not provide for any cable channels. To check what channels it does provide in your area, go to http://www.gomohu.com and enter your zip code.

From what I can gather, you still have to pay for the channels and a card. This only allows you to stream to all the other devises in your house without having to pay the cable co for other boxes.

Not sure I have the same model, but mine has a cable card slot. Comcast supplied the card which lets me connect to Comcast without needing to rent a set top box.

No this particular model is not cable card ready. It has 4 HDMI connections, 2 USB connections, 1 SD Card slot, Optical cable connect, Ethernet port, and is wifi ready with apps (netflix, pandora, youtube, etc). The cable card was not that important to me because I use netflix and hulu. I also have a PS3 that I use for my standard and 3D bluray collection. When I purchased this model from amazon it was under $900.00. The best price at the time of purchase than any other 3D Hdtv. I love it!

Yes it has an extra input but I no use the card. I have Charter cable and with cable and a box you can use the card but there is a serious delay and problems in switching channels with the box. Too the extent that I gave up using the card.
