I had heard that, but I could not get it to work until I got
Mobile phone tools. I could not get it to recognize the

Who or what says you need to subscibe?
if you call customer service, I am sure they do.

> anyone still working with cable and Media Works??

I can't say what your issue is. It is working fine for me.

In my business we call this "operator error"
