That is just stupid! If the FCC says you can use your own epuipment and you have 2 of the SAME model cable boxes (one that YOU bought and the the CABLE company rents you) and the one that the cable company rents you works, and you called the cabel comapny to set up the second one and it doesnt work, isn't that ILLEGAL? because its the same DAMN thing! Not some nock off that the say will not work. IT IS THE SAME THING AND THE CABLE COMPANY SAYS IT ISN'T, THAT'S A LIE AND ISN'T IT ILLEGAL UNDER THE FCC CABLE ACT?
What you should choose does not end in the here and now, but how much you want to deal with it in the futre
