I had a SA box. It developed a shudder/shiver while watching still images. The TV guide was almost imposable to watch without feeling sea sick. I had to replaces it with a used Samsung box.

analog? copper? to what do you owe this knowledge? There are some cable systems that are still analog but for the most part they are digital. And its not because thier lines are copper.

acblue, now that you've had it hooked up for about nine days, how do you like it? Maybe you can give it a review. I have the SA8300 box which works very well.
