Pretty fair review, though obviously colored by the ineptness of your cable installer. If your installer knows what they are doing, two cards can be installed in about 15 minutes.

Yea, but my story about the ineptness of the cablecard install doesn't seem to be that far out of line if you look at the TiVoCommunity forums. And sadly, most places dont allow self-install.

And just like a cell phone, the phone might be great but if the reception sucks, its no use. Its a package deal.
