I guess I'm just lucky. Years ago when the cable co called it"DMX-radio" / This was a separate box,and the music info was on the remote's screen. I never had any problems. This "box" had a coax dig.out.You got your 30 channels + you had 10 tv stations in digital/ mtv, hbo, ppv,etc.This was the bench mark when I switched to Sat. I now have a coax on my older Sony/ Direct receiver. I had the toss linc replaced with the coax.It is "Quite Good" indeed! / Back to Cable;Their box with the coax,out / now only gets the music stations. (The coax is not active on the tv stations) Wonderful Time Warner!!. I have the Chang 1000,/isolated lines/ and "good" power cords. I think this is what it takes.
