Does anyone know if there is any truth in the following statement? "Only a box provided to you by your local Comcast installer will work. Buying the same box we provide off of ebay will not" That is what the service reps told me. I am assuming that they are only saying that to collect even more then they already do for what is usually crappy service. Any thoughts?
if they don't "ping" the box, it won't work. if you don't get it from them they won't activate it. why do you think they invented digital cable in the first place?
