New HD distribution via QAM tuners from Bocs? Cheap HD Modulation? - Page 11

Use any Blu Ray player with the HDfurry to convert HDMI to component.

Does anyone know how to get the BOCs distribution signal on a TV utilizing a CableCARD? I have yet to find a way around this.

So I know this product is pretty much dead but I am installing my old unit in a parent's house and can't seem to find my installation instructions/device code list. Unfortunately the website appears to be down and I was wondering if anyone out there happens to have saved the old .pdf files and could shoot them to me.


Thanks in advance.

I took a serious look at BOCS a few years ago, but unfortunately didn't archive any of the relevant literature. You're right about the web site being down, but BOCS did have some business ties to another company called Amperor (sales or marketing outfit???) ....and they still have a few of the BOCS docs posted:

http://www.amperordirect.com/pc/r-product-support/z-reference-bocs-mediahub.html

....they have many (dead) links to Bocsco.com, but there still are a couple of documents on the Amperor site that might give you some pointers, such as http://www.amperordirect.com/mm5/website_v3/products/bocs/BOCS%20Application%20Notebook.pdf .....but the real nugget may be that there are still several live links to YouTube vids, showing install details, that are still up and running.

So....not exactly what you were asking for, but maybe you'll find something usable.

It's a shame to hear about BOCS' demise - the "Head BOCS" dude, David, came across as a knowledgeable and stand-up guy - tough market, I guess!

Just wanted to say thanks. I had found the amperor direct website but not the videos. They had helped but I still needed codes. Luckily one of my kids showed me where he had "organized" the papers and I found them. Thanks again for the help. Too bad the HD version never materialized....it's a pretty cool product.

And if anyone stumbles across this and needs the documents just let me know.

You're wlecome. I figured you'd probably found the Amperor site, but posted the links just in case you hadn't.

Yup, the lack of HD capabilities did seem to be the final nail in the coffin - I know that there were difficulties with obtaining "HD chips" - shame, good product.

Dear Friend: I have 2 BOCS working perfectly for the last two years. if you go to bocsco.com you could find the manual and everithing to make an installation.

If you need any help, please let me know.

Can BOCS be used with Uverse STB's? Are there remote codes to match the AT&T remotes?
