If you buy a Cogeco box from someone who previously purchased it from Cogeco or an authorized retailer, we will activate it. |

So does that mean that Cogeco no longer activates motorola hd boxes bought off of ebay from usa where they were originally used with comcast, etc...why do they care the source of the box, as long as it wasn't one of their rental boxes that wasn't returned? |

It was a problem 10 years ago lol....even I had an issue as a former Cogeco employee trying to get a box activated...and that was from a Mountain Cable area at the time. Its too bad though but I can understand the headaches that were caused by it for sure. |

this is cogeco's way of explaining why they're greedy pigs. 10 years ago this was an issue but now it's not, These motorola boxes they refuse to activate are not stolen. They've been sold off by almost every cable company in north america because most don't use these boxes anymore, They are also rolling out their tivo pvr in the next year and fear these used boxes will hamper their rentals. SAY NO TO COGECO, |
