Comment Re:Check out twinhan DVB-S cards for an alternativ (Score 1) 345

That's not going to work. The keys they use are derived from IDs stored in both the card and the tuner. And I think they may do some sort of pseudo-randomization on the tuner ID because I seem to recall that yanking it and putting it back in my TiVo made me go through the activation process again.

That said, my Comcast guys don't care what device I put my M-Card in. I just need to call them and read off the numbers from my TiVo. And then do the same thing for the next couple days while rebooting the box several dozen times before it actually will decrypt anything.

Why? Can't you just link to wikipedia pages where appropriate? OK, my company has an internal server we link through to sanitize referrer info so our internal wiki titles don't get all over teh interwebs. But if the wiki users can't figure out "hey, this article is too specific - maybe wikipedia has more general information that would help me," you've got bigger problems than your wiki management.
