Is this the new Time Warner?

I do still have one complaint about TWC: securing a frickin' cable card. They will not hand them over at the CS centers. I went to the one in Costa Mesa on Friday and they said they never hand them out - that they have to have a technician come to my home.

We purchased an HD TiVo and can't do anything with it until TWC comes out on the 21st.

If you are too impatient to wait for them via online, Fry's had some for about $7 if I recall correctly the last time I was in there.

I went through the same thing with TWC and CableCards. My advice: don't sweat it and let the tech guy worry about it. Although the installation is completely straight-forward, there was some nonsense on the other end about hitting the card and making sure it decodes all your channels correctly (and since you have a HD Tivo, that means two cards). I was happy that I had a tech guy here dealing with the TW guy on the other end of the phone.

In the end, it worked out A-OK.
