    Is it true that the Q5 cable box will work on UPC? The guy I get my sly sub from has informed me that he will have a UPC card up and running in a few weeks and the Q5 box will work to supply the channels. Anyone else heard this?

    Best way to keep it, its when stuff like that is out in the open, its the mouths who bring it down, openly advertising it, speaking about it, best keep it under wraps

    This might sound like a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway :D Would I be mad to take out a sub while using upc broadband or would they be able to tell what you are using the broadband for?

    i asked a pretty simple question, nothing technical not asking anyone to hold my hand through this, i simply asked a question in a forum titled, CABLE BOXES, that question was, are these any good and worth while buying? and which one should i buy.. dont reply if you are unwilling to help or just put some smart arse comment, you must have better things to do with yout time

    if i was to say it did everything you wanted,no i cannot say as i dont have or own any so why say its a smart arse comment?
