Can I buy a HD cable box instead of renting one from comcast

[dstroker]

I'm tired of renting a HD cable box from Comcast. Does any one know if I can buy a box instead. If yes, will Comcast send me the signal if it's not their rented box?

No, you have to use their box.

If you can get by with only the clearQAM channels then a $170 box will work: http/www.barrel-of-monkeys.com/graphics/dct612/dct612.shtml
