Re: Digital Transitions

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?

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.

It was great to find out today that as a long time cogeco customer with the basic analog channels that i will be permanently losing all channels above 26.. No box offered. My only option is to upgrade to the digital packs. Anyone have input on this.

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.

It's not just Cogeco its across the boards.

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.
