OK, so I found a utility the allowed me to fake out the Digital Cable Advisor so it thinks my system passed all the tests. This allowed me to install the cable card fully. Now most channels play fine, but when I go to a channell with protected content like on HBO, I get a Display driver error - the video playback device does not support playback of protected content. This is probably why DCA failed on the video card. Now the content will play on the laptop built in display, just not on the HDMI output to my TV. I hope this helps. Let me know if this is something that can be fixed through the driver.
