Our cable provider ran fiber optics cable a few years ago for cable TV and internet. Last spring they stopped cable service and provide only internet now. Thy told us to just toss the old cable boxes. Are they worth anything? I have two and can get a few more.

Thy told us to just toss the old cable boxes. Are they worth anything? I have two and can get a few more. All the connectivity approvals is usually done at the central center. The boxes won’t deliver free programming by itself. But even then boxes are yesterday and have little value, I’d guess. It’s just a gateway. New TVs are all minicomputers. Are boxesneeded for old TVs? Beyond my scope but even then you need to have an account to use, as I understand it. One less remote. Then again someone may know better.

So what do you do for cable service now?He has high speed fiber optic cable, from which he can go in several directions for viewing content. He just doesn’t need a box. To provide the service the box did.

To provide the service the box did. In order to use INET in that way, I think I'd need to buy a new TV. I still have an old dumb TV.

I bought a Roku device that plugs into my non-smart TV and subscribed to You Tube TV for streaming. My step-daughter actually set it all up for us. We piggy-back on her subscription so it costs us nothing. You'll need a Roku for each TV. The ones she got us cost about $25 on Amazon.

Something like 30,000 channels. It's a complicated process but involves a VPN subscription and IPTV subscriptions. Much cheaper than ROKU or cable.

I doubt your setup is much cheaper than "costs us nothing."

I pay about $6/mo. for an IPTV provider and a $99 annual subscription for a VPN, but the VPN is used on our TV, phones and computers.

The are not worth anything today, but if shit goes pear shaped, depending how it happens, the parts of those machines may be Gold. The small electronics I used to trash I have a small storage space for. You never know.

In order to use INET in that way, I think I'd need to buy a new TV. I still have an old dumb TV. Just passing through ... if you need a new tv, I suggest you spend a few dollars for a seriously good tv (ex: Sony XBR tv in various sizes, 4k video). It will come with built-in apps for a dozen online services. And then spend a few more dollars for some 5.1 sound system to attach to it. Youtube for example has a few million videos -- you can get college courses on it, or learn electronics, etc. At the least get a soundbar for the tv; much broadcast tv is in stereo.
