Original vs Universal
Original means just that. It's not a generic after market box. It's the exact same cable box that the cable company uses, refurbished and designed to work on a specific cable system where they use that exact model. The main advantage of original equipment is you can not beat the picture and sound quality, universal boxes have excellent quality but original equipment was designed just for your system. One disavantage is that if you move to another area where they use a different cable box model number it may not work.
Universal Equipment is designed to work on a number of systems. The advantage is if you move it stands a much better chance of working then Original Equipment.
The View Master 4000 is the best Universal box on the market.
