| Bring Your Own Cable Box? Dumb question, perhaps ... but if I have a cable box that has a matching model number to one that WOW implements, am I able to bring my own cable box and avoid the monthly fees normally associated with one?
Thanks! |

| I don't think so. Only cable box you can have to avoid a monthly fee is something like a TiVo, but that either carries a monthly fee or lifetime subscription |

| OK, so the only way you can avoid a monthly fee is...to buy a Tivo with the subscription paid up front, and not have a monthly fee.
No "buts" there.
Or use Windows Media Center with a cableCARD tuner.
You'll pay the cableCARD monthly rental, but nothing more. |

Pretty sure a TiVo requires a cable card nowadays with digital cable. |

| Yes, but a cable card is only somewhere around $5. |

I pay $3.50 here in the Detroit area for the cc in my Tivo Premiere.
I do have an older non-cc Tivo Series 2 that is connected to a DTA (which is free until Jan 2016 for me), and use that for our older 32" crt in the bedroom. |
