What is a CableCARD and how can I use it with my WOW! Original TV service?
A CableCARD is a device that consumers who own digital cable-ready TVs or other digital cable-ready devices can receive from WOW! that allows for the descrambling of digital programming. The card is inserted into the digital cable-ready TV and allows the descrambling of the signal. The card works in place of a traditional set top box, but features like WOW! OnDemand and the On-Screen Program guide are not available with a Cable Card. You can lease as many CableCARDs as you need.
A technician is required to install and activate your CableCARD. To set up an installation appointment please contact us. Prior to your CableCARD installation appointment, we recommend that you complete the setup process for your TiVo device. For troubleshooting tips, hookup instructions, and information about TiVo Series 3 HD, visit the customer support area at TiVo.
You can insert either two Single-Stream cards or one Multi-Stream card into the TiVo HD set top box. Either option will give you access to the TiVo programming guide, WOW!'s digital programming and a DVR with dual-tuners. However, you will not have access to WOW!'s interactive programming guide, VOD, Pay-Per-View, or Caller ID to TV.
