1. A system for enabling use of a shared key code among media gateway appliance subsystems, the system comprising:
at least one user interface;
a media gateway appliance (MGA) configured to communicate with a multiple system operator (MSO) headend, said MGA including a plurality of media gateway appliance subsystems including at least a video subsystem and a router subsystem, wherein each of the video subsystem and the router subsystem include:
a memory configured to store at least one shared key code; and
at least one associated processor configured to store the at least one shared key code in the memory;
wherein at least one of the at least one associated processors within a particular video subsystem and/or router subsystem is configured to:
receive at least one key code;
receive information identifying another media gateway appliance subsystem with which the at least one key code should be associated; and
communicate with the identified another media gateway appliance subsystem, via a conduit linked therebetween, to store the received at least one key code in the memory associated with the identified another media gateway appliance subsystem.
