Recently I purchase a projector for my basement. The projector does not have a receiver. I live in iowa with mediacom as a provider. I use the PACE DC700X now so I was going to aquire another from mediacom. They wanted 11 a month for rental. So I got on the internet and found one for 80. I purchased it and when I hooked it up it said to contact the service provider. So I called mediacom and they told me they cannot help with this item. I would have to rent one for 11 a month. I do not expect to have access to the guide or the extended channels. I would like to have access to the basic channels. Is there any way I can set it up and watch basic channels without mediacom having a problem. I hate companies that use proprietary equipment.
