Digital cable boxes for Sale

What about Motorola or Scientific-Atlanta or Cisco or Pace cable boxes on online auction sites ?

The monthly cost for Comcast Digital Cable service includes rental charge for the digital cable box. There is currently no savings for purchasing your own digital converter on your primary cable outlet.

Comcast is compliant with the FCC ruling that we offer customers the option to purchase a digital descrambler through authorized retail outlets. Comcast would then supply the customer with a POD (point of deployment) authorization card (cable card).

However, we are not aware of any Motorola/Scientific-Atlanta/Cisco/Pace digital converters being offered through authorized retail outlets in the United Sates. Since we know of no authorized retailers or cable companies yet selling these digital converters in the United States, any such device could be the property of Comcast or another cable company.

If we determine by the serial number that the box is lost or stolen and/or the property of another cable company, we would not support it. Information received would then be turned over to the proper authorities.
