I saw this today setting up some cable boxes for a relative. They were issued 3ea Motorola DCX3510-M boxes. I could not help but notice that they were each preloaded with an M-Card. So despite all the stories about CC being phased out and CS reps not even knowing what a CC is, Charter clearly still uses them in their own equipment.

Yes, Cable companies are lying cheating bottom dwellers, was there any doubt on that?

...and if you don't believe dianebrat on that statement, search for the thread where Altice is LOWERING upload speeds for its customers.

And that would be similar to saying that TiVo will be reducing SkipMode availability.

My local Charter (Spectrum) seems to have no issue giving out cable cards. I turned in one last week and the person there told me it was the first one she has seen in over a year. Took her about 5 minutes to figure out how to turn in it. I had to make sure she didn't disable my current card.

Also, my local CC, still has POS 2 channel DVR's that only store 40 hours of HD. Can't believe they still have this trash. They did tell me they would give me 2 DVR's for free for the first year. Can't even give them away.....

Interesting. I am not privy to the deal that they gave my relative, but the DCX3510-M pictured above looks similarly outdated. Circa 2011, they have 2 tuners with a 500 gb drive for 50-60 hours of HD recording.
