Re: [DVR] motorola vip1216 dvr?You can keep asking, and put any spin on it you want, but the answer will always be the same. It's different in Canada where you can buy a box in Canada and have it activated in Canada. You can't buy a box from Canada, and have it activated in the U.S. |

Yes that the law if you own a Tivo Moxie or PC cable tuner a legally bought and owned boxed. A Motorola box is not a legally bought box. Tell us where and how do these company you keep mentioning get the boxes when Motorola only sell them to the cable companies. I guess if some one stole your car and offered to sell it back to you would pay the thief. |

Chris Guess how they get them. You said when asked about, stealing your car you would hunt them but yet you want Comcast to activate a box that belongs to them for free. If the Moxe would transfer programs to my pc I would have bought one of them instead of a Tivo. |

moto in the US, does not sell their boxes to the public.....period....
so either they are bringing them in to the US from canada, or they are stolen....might not be from comcast, but someone is looking for them.... |

I call retention and get the rates down for the next year. said by eagz28:second the box i got DOES NOT belong to comcast i called.not all motorola boxes belong to comcast! chris You still have not answered my question on how do they get the boxes when they are only sold to the cable company. Only in Canada can they buy them. said by eagz28:third comcast does nothing for free ! chris I meant to say you want comcast to activate a illegally gotten box and not pay a dvr fee for it. said by eagz28: when i get a box im sure there will be an additional charge! chris If you get a moxie You will need to a cable card. The moxe only use 1 card so that should be free. They may no outlet or $8.00 out fee At one time I had 2 tivos with 2 tuners each none where Motorola or sa boxes. I am now down to 1 tivo with 4 tuners in it. like I said before if moxe could transfer programs I would bought them. If you buy a Motorola box and Comcast will not activate {which they will not} it do not come back crying. You been warned by a lot of people here. |

BTW, in Canada the boxes being sold retail, I believe, are actually be sold by the local cable operators through the retailers. The boxes are specifically marked which provider they are meant for, it's not like you can pick up any old box and have it work. This isn't like phone service. The boxes probably already have their private security keys registered with those specific operators and won't work with others. Take a look: » www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/cat ··· d6d7en01 |

I download the programs take out the ads, fillers and credits and then upload back to the premiere. When 24 was showed I would not watch it each week. I download edit it and save to another partitionon on my hard drive. I would edit and join the programs. Once the season was done I would watch 3 hrs a night until done. |
