Where to buy a digital signal receiver?

Not exactly sure what to call it. Motorola calls it a digital video set-top. Basically I want to buy a digital "box" for my cable to enable me to watch the cable channels. I can't watch the digital channels w/o a box and I'd like to be able to get those extra channels in the bedroom.

Anyone have experience with this?

    That looks like the only place. No idea what they cost or what they have available.

    You need to get it from them because if you don't they'll think you're stealing cable (which, effectively, you are if you don't go through them). The best thing to do is probably just to call them.

    Yeah I'll call them. But I pay for digital so I don't think I'm stealing. I just can't receive it cause I don't have a box in that room.
    Sorta like I pay for internet but I don't lease my modem from them ...I bought that so I only pay for the ISP ...no modem lease.

    It's lame, but I'd guess that it's explicitly in your contract that you're paying to have digital cable on one receiver.

    Possibly. So if they sell me a DSR that would mean it's illegal to use it! LOL
    That makes sense! I'll have to call I guess.
