Re: Digital Transitions Cogeco is very disappointing lately, these adapters boxes are sh*t. Now since a few channels have been changed over , the channels are freezing up and pixelated. Cogeco should just get rid of these adapters and leave channels on Qam or offer the digital boxes at a discount for long time cogeco customers. I'm frustrated cause I paid the $25 to have the adapter professional installed by Cogeco and it still doesn't work properly. Ofcourse I complained but still their charging me the installation fee. I'm serious considering switching to satelitte tv. |

Side note - I am not afraid to move forward with technology... I just like the fact that channel 2-29 are the only channels i generally watch anyways.... So it sucks that 2 of the channels I usually watch have again been removed.
theyre not being removed, theyre still being transmitted to you digitally. you need the free DTA to receive them.

said by hmmmmms :Would new HDTV's need these boxes?
We got one box at work today but we have 3 TV's running off this one inch thick coax cable that runs into the server room and had a 4 port output thing on the end installed by cogeco.
We are planned on upgrading TV's at work and I was wondering if the newer TV's will need the DTV boxes. We only have cable that goes from 2-63 or whatever it is now.
How does one get more DTV boxes if they are needed?
ok, lets make this easy to understand.. EVERY TV SET will now require a STB or DTA. CRT, Plasma, LCD, digital, analog, heck, even digilog model if they existed.

The DC 730 digital adapters are more of a hassle since they are not working correctly. Picture comes in choppy, distorted if it comes in at all. No sound. Several boxes have been returned for not working cause they can't be recognized on Cogecos system through the serial #'s provided. |

Re: Digital Transitions p,s, i can see you are also the same kind of person who pays for a premium station such as the movie network /hbo and complains why they can not tune it on their second tv set with no digital set top box or DTA? the dta box is to help you out too dont always look at it bad, look at the positives too mang

i find it unfair to rent or buy a box to watch satellite dish for my new tv, but i do it anyway. connecting the satellite dish wire directly to the tv will NOT work. The tuner box tells the tv what channels you are allowed to watch or not, thats the same idea as the cogeco cable box, without that cogeco does not know what channels to turn on or off to your tv.

is that an insult? qam will eventually be scrambled and you WILL need an STB for it just like other cable companies are already doing, so instead of learning to figure it out and insult others, might as well get a DTA and join the club instead of trying to go against everyone

Re: Digital Transitions what do u think the DTA adaptors are for, those are for you to receive the channels. Qam is a mess right now, the frequencies will be changed and re-mapped all the time no sense to follow it, its like computer language.
