I just spoke with the tech. He claims that they need a "return" for the box (in other words, they DVR needs to be able to talk back and forth with their servers). The way my electrician wired the outlet, he has it running through an amplifier, which apparently prevents two-way communication. The tech was grumping about the number of outlets we have (we have 5 active outlets). My feeling is, they ought to be able to supply service to as many tvs as I have in the house. If they can't I'm going with DISH. The DISH service uses one receiver to power two TV's. For a smallish add'l charge, I can get a second receiver to power another two, and both receivers have the DVR capability. It pisses me off that to get the full Digital service from Charter I have to have a frickin' cable box at the site of each set (which I don't, so I just get the basic channels on the other tv's). The cost of the Charter service is slightly more than the full featured DISH system would run.
