The following was included in my monthly bill:
"As Cox prepares to transition all customers to a 100%
digital platform, we will offer a new equipment option, called the
"mini box," starting on November 10, 2014. The mini box will
enable access to all digital channels in our Cox TV Starter service,
select digital channels in our Cox TV Essential service, the on-screen
program guide and parental control features. The standard monthly
fee for this equipment option will be $1.99 per mini box."
I have cable going directly into my bedroom tv and use it's built-in analog tuner for Essential channels and it's QAM tuner for network HD channels + a few digital channels (eg: AntennaTV). Will I still be able to do this ... get the Essential + HD network feeds via the QAM tuner? Must I rent a "mini box" to get anything at an additional monthly cost. What Essential channels will the mini box receive? I haven't seen anything except this note in my bill and a survey asking me if I've seen anything.
