Where do I get the cable card and does Brighthouse require any additional device?

I picked up a cable card from the local Brighthouse office - no charge. There is nothing more you need, although it can take some time for the channels to come up. There are a few channels that came up on the old cable box that are still unavailable on the cable card.

I got my cable card from my cable company, Cox. I don't know what Brighthouse is.

Brighthouse offers cable card for approx $3 a month and may include a tuning device if needed.

Get it from your cable co. I have Cox. It costs $1.99 per month. You must have your cable co. Pair it with your tivo and cable card for it to work. It is normally painless, but in my case, it ttok about 4 hours and 4 techs to get it going. I think that was on purpose to discourage me .I'm tough...and determined. Finally got it going and now it is flawless!

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.

You need one multi-stream cable card, which supports up to 4 tuners. Guess you received enough answers now!!

Yep! Just be sure to ask for a multi-stream CableCard. It's easier to have them set it up, I think...

a cable card is needed, if its not working youll need to contact your provider so they can enter your tivo network numbers in their system so they cable card will communicate properly. i suggest find a customer service number for your provider from the tivo site, i had trouble getting help with the normal customer service numbers.

Yes you do. The room the client is installed in must have access to the DirecTV system via coax cable. Also note, you will not be able to connect this up yourself even though it's very simple. You will get a "You are not authorized to have an additional unit on this system, call Customer Service". It's a scam. They have to come out an connect it for you and charge you $49. Good luck. the unit works great though. Hope this helps.

You must get a cable card from your cable provider, AND the cable card must be a newer software version. As a matter of fact, our cable provider had to order new cable cards because we were not the first customers whose new Tivos did not work at all - absolutely no channels were viewable. Once you have a compatible cable card, this model is supposed to operate fine without digital cable, but I cannot yet verify this. We only got notice today that our up-to-date cable card should be available for pickup by the end of this week.

I kept one, still needs it's own cable card and monthly service. If you just want to network them, you don't need a cable card but I think you still need the monthly service.

Just the antenna.You would need to but coaxial cable(you can use the same one cable company install in your house and signal booster(optional)

Coax and them you call the cable company and they ask for some code numbers which come with the device and activate it for your account. I replaced an existing digital box and Linksys wireless unit with this single device. Have had no issues for the 4+ months I have owned it.

You don't need anything extra. One end if cables go to camera the other end with red/yellow goes to tv. Other connecter onthat end goes to 9 v adapter suppliesmd with camera. You must have stereo tv, if it's an okder tv.hope this helps

Yes. You will need to get a cable card from your cable provider. It's probably best to have them install it and do what they call "pair" it. Most will charge for the card, but it's pretty low. Or at least it was for me with Comcast. I think at first they charged me $2 a month and then stopped charging for it.

I just bought this model, and both the salesman and my cable company told me that I will need a box to get HD channels. Are they selling me a bill of goods? I don't want to pay for a cable box if I don't need one. We are currently running the TV (analog only) from just the cable with no cable box. pananer

I believe you do need a FireWire cable- you can buy a FireWire card for about $26 right here:

yes this attaches to your local network via cat5 cable and to your cable service with standard RG6 coaxial cable. you will need a multi stream cable card from the cable company. it is important that you get the M card or the tuner will not work but I had no problem getting the correct cable card from Comcast. once you set it up and install the software and driver from silicon dust included or downloaded you run the windows media center tv setup and it will find the tuners.if you are only using clear unencrypted channels the cable card may not be needed but to get pay channels or if charter encrypts all channels like Comcast does the cable card is needed. yes this attaches to your local network via cat5 cable and to your cable service with standard RG6 coaxial cable. you will need a multi stream cable card from the cable company. it is important that you get the M card or the tuner will not work but I had no problem getting the correct cable card from Comcast. once you set it up and install the software and driver from silicon dust included or downloaded you run the windows media center tv setup and it will find the tuners.if you are only using clear unencrypted channels the cable card may not be needed but to get pay channels or... » Read More yes this attaches to your local network via cat5 cable and to your cable service with standard RG6 coaxial cable. you will need a multi stream cable card from the cable company. it is important that you get the M card or the tuner will not work but I had no problem getting the correct cable card from Comcast. once you set it up and install the software and driver from silicon dust included or downloaded you run the windows media center tv setup and it will find the tuners.if you are only using clear unencrypted channels the cable card may not be needed but to get pay channels or if charter encrypts all channels like Comcast does the cable card is needed. « Show Less

Yes you will need a cable card to make this work. If you are just wanting TV on your computer there are several other options to look at including http://www.hauppauge.com/. Hope that helps.

I have Comcast and just pay for the cablecard. There is no extra fee for the 6 tuners (at least where I live).
