It seems most devices are already half way there with the OPEN cable standards and it seems a lot of drivers/software/firmware are GPL license code.
However I have an Mcard(ATI - TV Wonder), and I haven't seen any tweaks on that yet. Mine is an ATI card module rig that connects to the backplane through a fast USB 2.0 connection.
The other tuner connects to analog, and your idea would work for it, I'm sure. But premium content, it seems, is still out of range; but I haven't cruzed half the forum sites yet. Perhaps I should go back to thegreenbutton.com and look for Linux hacks.
Thank you very much for the info, it looks just like the proceedure I did through my ATI network consol.
Plus I don't know how much spying the cable companies are allowed on these rigs for DRM reasons, I noticed Cox Communications is established on my direct network most of the time; even though they are not my provider.
