Microsoft makes it very simple. Windows 7 is already CableLabs approved for decrypting encrypted cable television legally. Any version, but the starter, has Windows Media Center. So, just buy a $20 Media Center remote, or Logitech Harmony to make the operation transparent to the user.
Ceton (4), SiliconDust (3), Hauppauge (2) and ATI (1) all have CableCard enabled tuners from 4 tuners per CableCard (Ceton) to 1 tuner (ATI).
There are Windows Media Center Extenders or XBOX 360 that allow you to dynamically share the tuners, and all of your media content through the home network.
And you have your self full whole house entertainment system.

Finally after talking to a supervisor, they gave me a one time credit for the the difference for the remaining year (about $240), but I've heard horror stories about their billing practices.
I would actually get this deal if they would allow it for existing customers, but they likely won't. Maybe if I accept the contract term they might. I can also upgrade my phone from analog to digital. Maybe that will be enough. I'll check when I have time.
It sure beats paying $60/month to have a whole house DVR ($20/month) and 4 additional HD boxes ($10/month each).
If you have a TV that has a Clear QAM tuner, you can pick up "basic broadcast" channels, which are the same channels you can get with an antenna. Everything else is encrypted, and you need a CableCard.
Verizon has it all figured out when it come to CableCard in a PC. They have a utility that you run to activate the CableCard that you can now pick up at the Verizon FIOS store. No need to have techs to come out.
If anyone needs a referral, PM me with your name and e-mail address, and I will send you one.
ummm, if you read the post you replied to, we only pay $3.99 per month in equipment rental charges.
We DO NOT rent any boxes from Verizon. We do our own decryption a distribution through the home network.
Our basic bill is $65.99/month, plus $3.99/month for the CableCard + $6 or $7 in taxes for Triple Play with HD Prime, 20/5 Internet, and local/long distance/international land line phone service.
We are not under a contract whatsoever. We can leave whenever we want to, but since this is thebest deal around, we are staying with Verizon.
