What is a Cox Receiver
In the 'going digital' notice it refers to a 'cox receiver' being necessary.
I have two of the 'boxes' but other TV's are connected directly by coaxial cable, which I consider to be a 'cox receiver' because it is from Cox and it does receive their signal.
So my question is, Is my cable connection a 'cox receiver' or do I have to get a 'mini box' as mentioned in the notice.
Basically, my question is: What is a Cox Receiver? Please provide a definition for this term.

In summary, any TVs connected directly to the cable will no longer receive signal once the transition to all digital is complete. All TVs will require either a traditional receiver or mini-box to get picture.

You could purchase a wireless HDMI kit to beam whatever is on your set-top box to another TV in your home. Of course, the programming of your remote TV will be limited to the current channel of your cable box. However, some kits allow you to change the channel on the cable box from the remote TV.
Considering the monthly rental of additional cable boxes, a wireless HDMI kit would pay for itself in a year.

Just to follow your logic, you think Cox meant TV when they say "Cox receiver"? So you think they would need to tell people to watch TV...you would need to own a TV?

A Cox receiver is any type of cable box. Whether it be a DVR, mini-box, or simply a cable card that you plug into your own purchased equipment.
