DVR use with basic cable?

Can I use a DVR box from one cable company on another company's cable?

  • I have a DVR box from an Brighthouse cable company, now I am in another city and was wondering if I can make this DVR box work with Cox cable.So, Anybody know?

  • Answer:

    No sir, I work for Comcast. That DVR will only work with their service because of the serial numbers. When you moved, they didn't ask for the box back? You should make sure they don't have you in their system for a delinquent balance for that box.

Nope. Each box has a password known as a community string. Therefore, you cannot use your box on another cable network.
