Re: First DTA dongle market identified: Portland, OR

I think they should let you buy the box outright, or lease to own. If you do pay $3 a month, once you hit the total cost of the equipment, the monthly rental fee should disappear and they should consider it yours.

Why? Because it doesn't do security. It doesn't do 2 way like on demand. It's simply a "dumb terminal" that scans the cable line for clear QAM and obtains channel mapping from some simple signaling method (most likely how the old SA8600 / Jerrold DPBB did through simple FSK signaling in the FM band).
