said by ohsoh8bell :Screw that. I have a Rogers analog cable account I refuse to get rid of and it drives Rogers nuts. They keep bugging me to get rid of it. NO I say because you once offered me a STB for free and now you won't. Until you do again I won't convert. Cut my channels? Go ahead, but my lack of cooperation is screwing up your bandwidth allocation on my node and I love that.
And that is exactly what they will do. They will set an analogue cutoff date and send you an offer for a free STB. It will arrive by UPS and you will install it. You will call in to authorize it and it is done. If you don't call in, it self-authorizes, I understand (it had linked before I spoke to the CSR). Once you reach the deadline, you lose cable completely as the system is cut over. You either cancel or accept the box.
