The tech made it out this afternoon and completed the install in about 30 minutes. He could have left earlier since the InfiniTV Diagnostic Tool showed green check boxes on everything, but he stayed while I configured Windows Media Center tuner just to see it in action. It was his first Ceton install although he had done several CableCard installs on Tivos. The basic flow was:
(Before tech arrived)

• Installed Ceton card in computer and installed drivers/software as described in the install document.
• I ran the Digital Cable Advisor from within Media Center
  Installed the firmware update for FiOS customers and did a full power down then reboot (not restart)

(After tech arrived)

• Powered down the computer so he could put in the M-Card. (He was saying I didn’t have too, but this was also his first install into a computer?)
• He installed the card and we restarted the machine.
• He got the CableCARD ID, Host ID, and Data from http://192.168.200.1/get_cc_url?CableCARD///cp/auth (BTW, the 192.168.200.1 page only works for me in Firefox…it doesn’t work correctly in Chrome or IE 9 beta)
• He put a USB dongle in the computer and ran an EXE that was on the thumb drive. He said it didn’t have to be ran from the same machine, but it had to be ran from a computer on my network.
• He initiated the activation process from his laptop.
• I had the Ceton InfiniTV Diagnostic Tool up the entire time (this also had the numbers he need as well). Note: the Diagnostic Tool refreshes itself, so some items would take a few minutes before they populated.
• In about 5 minutes (the Diagnostic Tool says to wait 10 minutes before resending the signal) we got the last green light!
• He tried the Check Channel Authorization and put in channel 4 and clicked the Tune Channel button. I responded with a success message.
• I fired up Window Media Center and went to the tuner setup and walked through the wizard selected my cable provider, etc.
• That whole process took about 5-10 minutes. Next I tried recording 4 channels and it worked wonderfully! (CPU was around 30%-35% while recording 4 channels on a AMD X4)
• Fired up 3 XBox 360′s and turned them to different channels. CPU was fine, I think I saw a peek of around 75%. Right now it is at 32% with 1 Xbox extender and Media Center running on the computer tuned to a different channel.

The tech did not think it was going to be able to do 4 channels at the same time…not sure if that was because the Tivos are only dual tuners or what? He thought the card was only capable of 2 channels…so he was surprised to see it recording all four! I also asked him about the Low Pass Filter. He said he didn’t think I wouldn’t need one because the CableCard ignores the MoCA frequency (these are his word…just repeating them). I tried some of the channels others mentioned to have problems with (631,717,746,789) and they were coming in fine. He said that he didn’t have a filters anyways…they were on order (for unrelated reasons). He also let me know that the card is tied to my account, not the device, so I should be about to pop it in other devices and it should work with any issue.
