    I picked up the M-Card from Verizon FIOS this afternoon.
    Fairly straight forward in getting the cablecard authorized with Verizon FIOS.

    1. I Followed the ceton infiniTV 4 Quick installation guide provided with the card. InfiniTV 4 Quick Installation
    2. Downloaded the most recent version of the Ceton InfiniTV4 installer software
    3. Ran the Digital Cable Advisor Tool
    4. Authorized the FIOS cablecard via this site:
      http://www22.verizon.com/fiostv/selfinstall/
    5. Setup Windows Media Center for TV

    The only odd thing that I had encountered was in the
    TV setup portion of Media Center.
    At the Activate support for digital cable screen
    you are prompted for a activation key.

    Message shown on screen:
    To view and record premium or high definition TV channels you must
    enter a product key. Select next to enter your product key.

    Prompted by Media Center with this …
    “The product key to enable support for digital cable
    is not the same product key to activate windows.”

    What exactly is required here?

    Be advised that the card is working and I receive
    all SD and HD channels with the Ceton InfiniTV4 & Fios M-Card
