Record 6 Box even swap at cox location??

I was told that If I wanted to upgrade to the record 6 whole home DVR I could avoid the $75 installation if I took my host box to the Cox office and switched it out.  I already have the whole house system but only 2 shows at a time and the HD it fills up quickly.  Is this is true?

No, I don't believe that is true. Or atleast it wouldn't be plug and play. MoCA uses a password system to connect the different boxes together, so at the very least they would have to send some signal to your client boxes to have then re-sync with the host. Im think there is probably a firmware/software compatibility issue too. Who told you that you could? 

I would probably wait until we can hear from a Moderator.

At this time upgrading to the record 6 hardware does require a professional install.  Swapping the box at the service center is not an option due to the technical requirements to set it up properly
