Additional Digital Cable Boxes

[effensweet]

I currently have digital cable service in one room in my house. I would like to add additional cable boxes in other rooms but would like to do so without messing with my cable bill.

If I bought a box from eBay, what do I need to do to access my cable service from another room? Does it need to be reprogramed? Do I need to purchase a new card from somewhere online?



My cable bill is high enough as it is and I am done allowing the cable company to bend me over.

HELP! Thanks ...

You can't do it without renting additional boxes from the cable company. The cable company WILL NOT authorize a box they don't supply. Have you ever noticed that most of the time when cable fees go up they raise the 'rental' price for a box?

Now if you want to send the same signal from the one box to multiple rooms, that can be done but is not what you are asking.

Yeah, we're being subscribed to death from many angles.
