I currently have digital service thorugh Time Warner Cable. I wanted to put a digital set top in my room's TV so I bought an official Time Warner cable box from Ebay. When I hooked it up it would not work. It tells me to call my operator. IS there any way I can make the cable box work? I talked to someone that works in the cable comapny and he told me that the cable box has to be set up to receive the unique signal in this area. Can I some how do that? Maybe by reprogramming the box.
