Re: [CATV] The new spectrum 201 world box compared to the Cisco 9865

said by me2153:

It's not on any of the new boxes coming out satellite or cable. i know someone that has direct TV that had to get a new receiver and no clock on it either. It saves them money when they're made to not have a clock and like you mentioned wall clocks and all of our devices have clocks now. I don't miss it.

Satellite receivers have never had clocks.. that was a cable box thing stemming back to the 80s

I personally like the clock as it sets itself, and is just convenient, and I am not a fan of the new UI so am holding on to Navigator as long as possible (although I'm 99% sure after Cinemax drops off gold, that's finally enough for me to cut it altogether)

I understand. I would say a lot of people going to drop spectrum when Cinemax becomes ala carte
