wtb(orrow) shaw digital cable box

[joel]

shaw just offered me free cable for 6 months.

unfortunately i don't own a digital cable box. anyone have a spare one lying around they don't need or use. I can return it after 6 months.

[nature boy]

dunc has one haha.

if they offered you free cable, shouldn't they have offered a free box as well?

[geForce]

They rent it to you for $5 per month for that promo.

I have a spare one though, if you need. Have to get it transferred over to you though... I think it's still under my dad's name.

[Duncan]

yea you have to get the box registered. Can't just plug and play... You can borrow mine for 6 months if you want.

[joel]

registered? how to play?

[nature boy]

from what i hear you just need to call in the box's serial number or something. not a big deal.

[Duncan]

[joel]

just sd.

[nature boy]

but you probably want a pvr anyway and save a bit of bandwidth.

[Duncan]

yea, my pvr is an hd pvr but it should work for you even if you're only getting sd... you're welcome to borrow it if you want...

[Duncan]

so joel, did you still want to borrow my box?

[nature boy]

must....
not...
get... thread.... locked.....

[joel]

sure, i'll give you a call tonight and arrange a time with you. I still need to pick up a splitter and some cable too..

[nature boy]

joyce should still have the splitter that i gave her for her computer.

I have a shaw non-hd digital cable box laying around in my room that i never ever use if you want to borrow that forever or something
