The setup process was so easy, that this post is more a demo than a tutorial.  "The next step" is always obvious.

The first thing I did was install the card in my computer.  That was just like installing any other PCI card.  Then, of course, I hooked the card up to a standard co-axial cable so that it could have a signal to work with.

Next, I turned on my computer and saw this:

Then I clicked on it just to see what was going on.

Then Windows asked me to restart.  Even though I doubt I really needed to, I did anyway.

Next I opened Windows Media Center.

Then I scrolled over to "set up tv".

I’m going to describe the proceeding steps, but honestly the next step is always apparent.

I clicked next.

I selected yes.

I selected next.

I waited for a few seconds.

I selected automatically.

I selected next.

I waited for a few seconds.

I selected yes.

I selected next.

I selected next.

I selected yes.

I selected next.

I selected I agree.

I selected next.

I entered my ZIP code.

I selected next. (note: I edited my ZIP code out.)
 

I waited for a few seconds.

I chose the right provider. (Note: I edited the first part of the names out.)
 

I selected next.
 

I waited for a few seconds.

I clicked next.

I scrolled over to "live tv".

I selected "live tv".

I channel surfed!

I’d say the whole process took under 30 minutes, though I can’t be sure because I didn’t do it all at the same time.  Features I can now use include pausing live TV, rewinding live TV, easily skipping past commercials, using the guide, schedule recording single episodes or whole seasons,  watching TV recordings that are currently recording, burning recordings to DVD, copying the recording files directly to my laptop, and syncing recordings with my Zune.  Best of all, like always I can bring this whole experience down to my TV through my Xbox.  All of that is on top of the Media Center functionality that I could already use!

w00t!
