My subscription with a cable company provides a card (size of credit crd). is there a place slot to insert it in InfiniTV?

That should be what you need it should be an "M stream" card. It's the same type of card that goes inside of a TiVo DVR. Also the signal is much better with the centon infiniTV then for instance the Comcast or Xfinity cable boxes in my experience in my residence

Yes. That Card is called a CableCard, and it is required to use the InfinitiTV. There is a slot on the card that is visible when the card is installed in your PC. The card comes with both full and half height adapters.

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

You will need a M -card. It replaces your cable box for unscrambling the cable signal. You need to get it from your cable company.

I have one installed in my windows 7 system.I just went to the local Comcast office and picked up a MCard and installed it myself.Not really any issues to speak of.The CableCard was activated using an automated telephone system.While the card was working, I did have to call Comcast support to complete the "pairing" of the CableCard to the Ceton Tuner. Afterward, I was able to access Premium channels, like HBO.Comcast charges a $8.00 digital outlet fee for the Cablecard. There is no fee, if the Ceton Tuner is the only device you use to receive TV.

No. Yes. I have a TV card in the slot below the slot this video card occupies.

Hi Kelley. Amazon has nothing to do with the 15.00 a month fee. It goes to Tivo. When you receive your unit, there will be a slip telling you how to get in touch with Tivo. First, set up your unit. If you want digital service you have to get in touch with your local cable company to get a cablecard (Yet another charge of roughly five bucks or so a month). Once the unit is set up, the cable card is installed, you're ready to go. Call Tivo who will ask for the service number of the box (Usually located on the box the tivo came in. The rest of the install is quite simple. It just SEEMS a pain in the butt. Enjoy your new 'toy.' (I'm looking forward to purchasing the newest unit as soon as my finances get better-LOL).

The FCC REQUIRES your digital cable system to provide working CableCARDs to you on demand for a "nominal fee", which is about $5 each per month or less. They don't have the option NOT to provide CableCARDs. It is an FCC requirement. This has been the case since July 1, 2000. Most cable companies want you to believe that your only option is their own digital cable boxes, controlled by them, with rental rates set by them, and complete with integrated advertising. Most cable systems would rather you didn't know about CableCARDs.

Time Warner gave me a tuner box to connect to this Samsung and a cable card to insert into this Samsung. There was no charge for the tuner box from Time Warner.

It would seem as if the most part - cable card integration with TVs have been a failure. In reality, it should have worked, but at the time you post this question, the cable companies were very lenient on required standards. And also at the time, they could have said they don't have any and there was nothing that can be done. Now, there are regulations for standards, and requirement of availability. In a matter of fact, new set top boxes you would get from the company has a cable card slot. However, this is too little - too late. TVs will now have to do more than just be a TV, and the manufacturers are falling behind in the needs I personally feel they must address. The main reason to get a cable card is reduction of fees and integration. What's the point of having a TV with a cable card slot if it can't record shows for you? If you are still looking for alternatives, Ceton Corp is what I noticed to be the best solution. They have PCI-X adapters, and USB 2 adapters that will allow you to plug your cable cable card into a Windows 7 PC. There are no fees such as from TiVo, but you may not like the clunky looking PC next to your TV. I will look into getting a dedicated machine that will look better for the home theater. The Ceton Adapter can support 4 simultaneous channels. In addition, they will have a DVR/Blu-Ray player coming later in the year that will support 6 simultaneous channels. However, if your goal was to get rid of the box and have just a TV, even 3 years later - this has been more of a pipe dream for the consumer.

Yes, it's listed in the Roku channels. When I installed our Rokus, Vudu gave a $5 credit toward any choice.

Time Warner does, in fact, offer CableCard to its subscribers; that said, you should be able to use this with their service.

You must have a cablecard provided by your cable company to be able to receive their channels. That is a small card that slides into the Hauupauge. This box does nothing without the cablecard. The cablecard decodes the cable signal But, that said, I receive all the channels I subscribe to from Comcast with the Comcast cablecard. I do not get HBO for some reason though through the cablecard. I do not know why Does Time Warner have cablecards to give to you? That is what you need to find out. I do not know about TW

The outlet billing is controlled per addressable device (cable card), not per tv. This counts as one device even though the cablecard (and ceton tuner) supports up to six streams (actual tv's)

Guess Charter is a cable TV company and they have done the same thing as Comcast, my cable company. It worked great for me but the cable company has to provide a media card to insert into the WMC box, in my case that cost about a dollar a month and allows viewing of all the channels I pay for.

I bought an avermedia tv tuner card that fits in the express card slot. It works great, but with a few caveats. First, make sure if you are sending it out via hdmi that the connector sheath is low profile, otherwise it blocks the antenna dongle from attaching a tuner in that position. I guess you could always buy a usb dongle tv tuner, but the express card doesn't stick out. Plus, no matter which tuner device you use it will not pick up encrypted clear qam cable signals, which means that if you plug into the wall coaxial jack you might receive a few basic cable/ or only local stations depending on your provider. Combined with Windows Media center, and the included antenna it's a great set up, though, to record over-the-air uncompressed HD programs. Fun fact for the Asus N61JV-X2, if you like at the upper right side by the upper USB port, you can see a covered plastic piece that houses the antenna jack (on non-us models) for an optional built in tuner card.

You contact Tivo and pay them. You will also have to contact your cable provider to get a cable card installed into the TIVO after you get it. Call TIVO and they will tell you all you need to know. They were very helpful and no wait time to talk to someone.
