If a customer subscribes to DVR service...
- Host and client could be same make and model of cable-box
- Host would have DVR service
- Client would not have DVR service
This makes sense because a host needs to provide a service to a client
If a customer doesn't subscribe to DVR service...
- Any make and model of cable-box would be standalone
- Mini is a make and model
- Mini is a standalone
However, a Mini can't be a client because it's standalone? Hmm?
If this is all true (a Mini can't be a client), it's not because it's standalone...we've already established any make and model could be standalone...it's probably because a Mini can't assume a client profile.
If a Mini...with its cheaper rental fee...can't assume a client profile, yes, I smell a "business plan."
If your vintage clock radio has a boot program to manage its various modules, yes, you rebooted it. However, although both are electronic devices, a clock radio has no instruction-set other than a few manually-set gates to support a few outputs. A Mini, however, has a boot program, a microcontroller and an OS to process user inputs and manage various outputs; therefore, you can reboot it to reset its instruction-set. If you unplug a clock radio, it'll blink 12:00 AM until you manually reset its logic. Not all electronic devices are computers but all computers are electronic devices.
I'm glad you can still concentrate on your TV programs while your lights are flickering, electronics are recycling and TV is flashing. One less clock to "reboot," huh?
Ha-ha...I do only listen to Music Choice! However, now Bluesound finally supports SiriusXM, I think my Cable TV days are numbered.
Since you only listen to "Music Choice", you should swap out your Contour 2 box for a mini-box and save yourself some money. But before you do that, ask Cox if you can have your Contour 2 box be setup to host a mini-box, just to see what they say.
