I made the Comcast guy hook up my '49 motorola 7" and he didn't bat an eye. He said as long as I had a matching transformer, I was good to go. He went on to say that he had a Moto "golden view" set from the 40's that still worked! For once, I was impressed.
My girlfriend works for Comcast, and we had a discussion about the quality of boxes the other day (I had a relay on my box die after less than a year). According to her, box quality has really dipped down since Motorola cut production on their boxes, forcing Comcast to go with other vendors to make them. The worst quality box by far is made by a company called Scientific Atlanta. They have pallets of these things that just failed right out of the box. General Instrument also makes a decent box as well. But yes, Comcast has bad boxes-LOTS of them!
