Adelphia HDTV

[BoldAsLove]

I am planning on buying an LCD TV With an HDTV Tuner or Built in. I am also hooking up a home built DVR to it. I am looking to get HDTV on it. How would I go about doing so, I know I need the hdtv box, but according to adelphia, they have to supply it. Is this true, or can i purchase one off ebay? If i can purchase one off ebay, which one should I get?

adelphia should provide it for you with little or no monthly cost.

adelphia provides boxes for like $5 a month, but id prolly just prefer to buy it outright for the $50-$100

Unfortunately cable boxes are usually proprietary. The only HDTV receivers you can buy outright are Over-the-Air (broadcast TV) and Satellite HDTV receivers.

but if i get the HD Box, will that replace my digital cable box?

and would those other hd receivers be compatible with adelphia?
