Yeah, and from what I've heard from the guys I use, which are Comcast, I guess that's how it would work. But then again, Kim says they told her something about using their toner? Which really didn't make sence, I guess they meant to say a cable card which yeah that is true or at least the last time I checked it was anyways. But anyways, I guess the only real way to find out is to actually try and do it I guess.

I lost the ir blaster to my tuner, so will have to purchase a whole new tv tuner but that is the way to do this. the button is the language button I think. not sure if this explains a bit more or not but hope this has been of some help.
