I am selling because I moved onto Dish Network Turbo HD.  This unit worked flawlessly with a Time Warner Scientific Atlanta cable card (power key model PKM600). The cable card is not included. You get it from your cable company.  It will recieve & record hi definition signals from an antenna, or get a cable card from your cable company and make it a cable tv box. The system uses the free tv guide (you must enter zipcode) and it will display guide information for both cable and over the air on same screen. I left some recordings on the device (you can delete). No additional fees for recording from your cable company or fees like Tivo.  If you are looking at this item you most likely know what it's about. There is no warranty implied with this sale and it is a final sale with no returns, however, I feel you will be satisfied once you get the unit setup. Thanks for looking. I will ship via UPS Ground with insurance and signature upon delivery to USA ONLY. Sorry, no shipping to Hawaii, Alaska or Puerto Rico it's just too expensive. I will send you tracking information. UPS Ground ships 1 to 6 business days.  Any questions let me know, I will do my best to answer them. **** FREE SHIPPING WITH BUY IT NOW $599 ONLY APPLIES TO BUY IT NOW AUCTIONS **** (if you buy it now pay only $599. Paypal will total you to $639 and you just discount the amount of the shipping $40 at Paypal checkout to pay only $599). **** LOCAL PICKUP  WITH BUY IT NOW $559 ONLY APPLIES TO BUY IT NOW AUCTIONS **** IF THIS IS A LOCAL PICKUP YOUR SAVINGS ARE MUCH GREATER.
