I recently bought model DCT2224/1661/ACDEG off EBAY and my cable company refuses to activate it. They said I'm basically screwed. I pay for cable, just wanted an additional box for my office. Am I really screwed? Or is there a way for me to get this up and running? I'm not a programmer, so if there is a way how difficult is it for someone very little knowledge and is there a simple guide on how to do this somewhere on this forum that I might have missed?
Thanks

all the info you week is in this forum. the sort answer is you can get the box connected to show analog and any digital channels that are in the clear. you won't be able to get any premium channels. at least not yet anyways.

The channels do not match up with my cable box that is working. I did no homework before I bought this box, since I figured it would work since the model # was the same as the one the cable company gave me. I'm in Missouri and the cable box from EBAY was shipped from South Carolina, will it still work the for the channels you said? I thought I read somewhere in a previous post that it wouldn't since it was from a different area? Did I misunderstand what I read? Thanks again.

you can copy the firmware and nvram from you working box to the one you bought and you will get the analogue channels and any digital channels that are in the clear (clr). you won't be able to get any premium channels(enc12).
