Hello, I want to buy my own Scientific Atlanta cable box to use with my Charter Cable TV Service. If I buy my own cable box will it work or does Charter have to "program" it? Or am I stuck using their equipment. I'm paying them $100.00 a month now and I just can't bring myself to pay them another cent! Thanks, Willie
Buy all the cable boxes you want but if you live in the USA they will become good paper weights. Charter has no obligation to enable a digital STB that has not been provided by them. You are not stuck paying for cable tv, OTA is free, free yourself from the evil cable companies, let your heart fill with the joy of free tv, envision all your jealous neighbors wishing they had free tv as well. What could be sweeter?
