V+ SA and Samsung
V Samsung only(standard SD box)?
VHD Cisco
Tivo Cisco

I think engineer was talking porkies as you will not receive a Pace box on an install or a tech visit, you may still get the Samsung but in the main it will be the Cisco box.

the only box that get reconditioned are 2110, cisco VHD and v+. Rest are recycled but they dont get swapped out unless faulty

They are still the boxes of choice though.

We had our SA V Box finally die this week. They replaced it today with a Samsung 2110 with Remote type 11. The channel change is uber fast. I was hoping it was going to be a Cisco V HD box but never mind, it's only going to be connected to a small bedroom tv anyway. It will do the job

Wow how many different makes of old boxes are out there in cable land that have not died? The box I upgraded from was a Pace 4110 I think.

Surely everything except all Samsung, SA V+ and Cisco boxes are decommissioned when faulty or if someone upgrades there service?

jb66 · 02-04-2011, 10:07

Not had a sa v+ for ages now, hopefully they are finished

Hope my TVDrive doesn't need replacing soon then! Been great since March 2006.

Better get my order in for TiVo on April 11.
