I was just reading the directions a few minutes ago, and they had 2
sections - "General Instructions" and "Tivo Instructions".
I just figured I'd ask here before breaking the seal on the HDHR.
Is there advantage to setting up an HDHR with ClearQAM first, before
adding the M-Card to the mix?
I presume I want to verify some basic functionality before calling for
Activation/Pairing.
