Motorola DCT 700 Question

Verizon FIOS has now forced everyone to go all digital, no more analog signal. I got the DCT700 from them and got it all working with BTV and IR blaster etc. What I don't understand is why the DCT700 can't decode any of the HD Signals. All I can decode are the same analog channels that I had before.

Is the problem related to the DCT700, or the fact that I still have an analog tuner (ATI Radeon) in my PC? Could I get a better STB off of ebay, substitute that for the DCT700 and get the full FIOS lineup?

TIA

Re: Motorola DCT 700 Question

The DCT700 is an SD only box, it will not decode HD. It only has a composite out (or coax for an old SD TV) If you want HD you will have to subscribe to their HD package and rent/buy their supported HD STB like the DCT3200 or 6200.
