    if you connect a starview box to your in-coming cable and remove your existing cable box wont the cable company know because they wont be getting a feedback signal from your original box or do you have to run both boxes at the same time

    I have heard of this before, if you do connect your original box up time to time so that it pings back to the CC then they shouldnt have a problem perhaps couple of times a week for ten mins

    You can run a cable from the output of the Starview to feed the other box and run the 2 of them if you wish, just change channels on it every once in a while.

    Or you could always give another room in your house a connection and use your original box in that.

    what do you think would happen if i left the original box unconnected?
    one more stupid question :) would it be possible to have one channel showing on the original cable box, but watch another channel on the starview at the same time?
