Can my roku ultra be used instead of my
Cox mandates a cable-box...any cable-box...because Cox encrypts their TV content. To keep you renting, Cox only allows their cable-box to decrypt the data.
UPDATE: either a cable-box or a CableCARD (or a tuning adapter). I'm not sure which device...CableCARD or tuning adapter...you'd actually rent from Cox.
You're on the right track to stream, however, with a Roku!
Thank 4 the info.those little box is driving me nuts.it s Hayden to cut on..sometimes takes 75 pushes before it comes on.then it plays ar the last usedited volume level,which is too loud early in the morning,and volume doesn't react good as well maybe 7 pushes which
English is loud seems longerl...but after that,the volume functions first time,cuts off power on first pressl.but whenot I'm in a hurry to leave and can't find remote,the only wayou to cut it off is pull power cord,or climb up on a step ladder,and stretch to shut tv power,or look for both remotes ....ino power button on the cover box..Lin my basic version in the bedroom.just inconvenient...by saving a few cents on a button,they force me to rent it.and now I' have turned a little disgruntled after being a 25 year customer.we pay close to 400$ a month for cable,with no premium channels,or extras.just a direct box,and a nasic,and the highest level high speed Internet net,that always goes out and has never been high speed.seems a little high to me

Thank again 4 the help
Is your device the Mini Box? I didn't think Mini Boxes were designed to be turned off. I don't have a Mini Box but I thought it's designed to stayed powered 24/7.
you'd rent both,but the tuning adapter is free
Okay...thanks. Renting a CableCARD is basically to record, right? I remember the concept of TV Tuner Cards back in the '90's but have since became ignorant of 'em.
