Dual CableCard + Mandatory STB?

[AndyM]

Is it possible to get two CableCards? And if so, is an STB required in order to install two CCs? I just spoke to a CSR who really wasn't sure what any of this means. She told me I needed an STB, but seemed confused as to whether I need an STB in order to get the second CableCard, or whether need an STB because I can only get one CableCard. Anybody know the real story?

Yes, you can get two CableCards.  Each CableCard is $3.99/mo.  You do not need an STB.

Be aware that the TivoHD and Moxi both require only one CableCard (of the M-CARD type) to supporrt both tuners.

Thanks, KenAF. I just spoke to a different CSR and am on my way.
