No cable boxes available?

[Campesina]

We have been waiting 2 months for cable boxes! DeLancer (in Sosua) says they have been ordered, but have not yet been shipped. Is there another company we can get boxes from and have them "programed" to work with this system? Does anyone know how that works? Anyone want to sell me a box or 2? I am getting desperate.

You can try Cabelnorte. When I checked the office in Cabarete a month ago they had a ffew extra. I think they have a office in Sousa.

Thanks, but no luck.

They use the standard General Instruments cable box... I believe the ones Cable del Norte uses are returns from Time Warner Cable, when they switched to digital cable. I would think you could buy them on the "open market" (i.e. internet/ebay) and have them programmed...but cant say for sure...
