my parents switched to satellite, so have a motorola digital cable box, which is for use on the shaw and delta cable networks
they want $150 i believe
feel free to ask any qu's, i can get technical info from the old man

 

Ask your old man if it gets **** . . . interested and have cash

 

well, we just had words, me and the old man...

here it is, its the latest model, the home theatre one, which means it has dobly digital 5.1 sound, where available

as far as ****, u have to sign up for the digital channels, as in this box gives u this feature, whereas u cannot get digital cable through a regular cable box

also, it gives u the pop up channel menu, which u dont have on regular cable..

hope this all makes sense, in a nutshell, it gives u the availablity of getting the digital channels from ur cable provider

also, this is in mint condition, my dad's really into his home theatre stuff...

thanks
ian

 

Hi Ian,

I am interested - but - I need a model number. I am looking for a digital box that supports HDTV (high definition).

Thanks,
Grant

 

i dont believe it does HDTV, and i'll get the part number real soon

edit: its a DCT 2000 HT series

(HT = home theatre) Dolby digital 5.1

 

Shaw sells them brand new for under a hundred now........

 

really? the digital ones? i'll tell my dad that.
as i say, they paid over 200 for it, so i believe, and i am just posting for him... so if this is true... well, my dad has a problem on his hands

 

Lots of people bought them when they were 200.

Including me.

A guy at work just bought one day before yesterday........only paid 99......

 

crap! well, i'll let my dad know... (this is definantley the home theatre one, right, cuz my dad seems to think its really good, and always points out the dolby 5.1 feature.... boys and their toys )

thanks for the heads up, though

edit: they have one for $99 when u buy a package deal... but it wasnt the home theatre one, or at least i dont think it was, i went to www.shaw.ca, and looked around... i dont know what the deal is, if someone finds out, let us know

thanks
ian

 

Im interested

I'll email u

 

ya shaw sells it for 99.99 and u get 99.99 back in channels and options

 

The Bell satellite has over a dozen channels of adult entertainment. If you know someone who pirates the smart card the price is right.

 

I just wanted him to ask his old man how the **** was . . . I figured hed get smacked around a bit

Im not a big tv fan. Our rabit ears pick up 3 channels , ctv cbc and glodal ooo and now Vi so 4

 

possibly interested.

I have the digital box now but would perhaps want another one for the Media Room I have now.

However, as you say, they are almost free to get from Shaw. Let me think on it.

 

as i say, find out what the deal is from shaw, i have no idea...
