What set-top box(es) do I need to receive regular (not high-definition) iO?
Outside of New York City, Cablevision is currently using the Scientific Atlanta SA4200 for regular iO. In New York City, they are using the SA1850. The primary difference between the two is that the SA4200 speaks the DOCSIS protocol, and the SA1850 speaks DAVIC. The Sony DHG-M55CV, which was installed for iO before the SA4200 (especially on Long Island), is being phased out.<> style=”mso-spacerun: yes”> Customers who have them may continue to use them, and may even exchange broken ones for working ones, but no new Sonys are being given out. The general (but by no means universal) consensus on the group is that the SA4200 is a better box.
