my Comcast randomly loses sound on a few channels. Last week it was VH1 and History, the week before that it was MTV and some other lame ass channel. My internet has been fast as hell lately though :bigthumb: :knockonwood: ---

Where did this spare box come from?? Was a box you had on you account at one time, or did you buy it on Ebay? If it was a box you once had on your account, you can take it into one of the lobbys and they can get the serial numbers off of it and then add it to your account, or you can take it in and swap it for a brand new one. if you bought it on Ebay or off someone else, you cant use it. > [@HAPPY BDAY KCUV!!!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/happy-bday-kcuv/35509/9): > > one of these days i’ll sign up for cable and i’ll give you a call. i don’t really feel like paying $75 a month for cable right now though. We have our digital starter package for new customers at $29.99 for the first year, and you can add the preferred tier of channels, which is all digital channels, not including premiums (HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, TMC, Starz) for 12.95, so your looking at about 42.95 plus tax, so around $46.xx a month im going to guess. > [@Recommend some good OEM seats](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/recommend-some-good-oem-seats/35514/6): > > I think in the next 2 weeks I"ll be calling comcast to set up service.

^ DC. I couldn’t get Verizon or RCN (yet) so I figure I would sign up for a year with Comcast and hope the other two get installed soon ---

I’m not sure. I think it was on my roomates old account.

if its from your roommates old account, you might want to tell him to return that box because they are probably billing him about $350 for that box, and he wont be able to get Comcast service again without paying for it. ---
