How can i tell the cable guy to juice up my digital converter box?

Question

if i'm just gonna pay him cash instead of additional subscription fee to the company. how does it work? can he really do it?

Answer 1

You can go ahead and pay the tech as much as you want, but unfortunally he wont be able to bind in the channels on your terminal.



There are two lines that can do this. Customer service (charging your account)

or a Engineering tech (good luck finding one)

Us engineering tech's are creatures of the night usually coming out after 12am.  I don't reccomend asking one if you see them, because for the ammount of the pay it's not worth them taking the risk.  

End result it's cheaper to purchase the subscription, and ensure you have the service vs it being turned off every 10 minutes.

Answer 2

Save your money.

Subscriptions are controlled remotely by the cable company.
