What would work for the top of a snowboard box?

How do i get a digital cable box to work with my cable?

• I have digital cable and have 2 boxes, but someone gave me another digital cable box for the same cable provider that i have so i could have 3. So i hooked it up and it worked, but then the next day it stopped working. I think the cable company turned it off. And i called them and they said ill have to take that box to them and get one that they give me in order for it to work. Is there a way to get the box that i have to work? The cable company just wants me to pay more for another box even though i already have 1. I heard there was something i could do to the box to make it work???

• Answer:

  You'd he hard pressed to find any cable company that would let you use a stolen cable box. What you need is a set-top box that will accept a cablecard. There are only two that I know of, a Tivo Series 3/Tivo Premiere and a Moxi. Both of these are DVRs. Then you have to schedule a cable guy to come out and install the card.
