Hey there, just wondering if Novus lets you rent their recievers? Also if anyone has any pricing for it that would be great. I checked their website and brochure i was given and have only seen prices to purchase the units.

Thanks.

from my understanding, they dont rent out.

im in the market for a HD receiver - i know you can it cheaper elsewhere, but its best to check with Novus that is compatible before purchasing.

Novus is flexible in what Motorola boxes they allow on their system. I switched from Shaw with my 6412 and then purchased a 3rd party 6416 to replace the 6412. Got both working without a hitch.

As far as I know, Novus is OK even with Comcast HD boxes, but can't guaranty if they will be able to reprogram the box, but they will attempt it.
You can buy a box from them, or from Shaw, they don't care.
