Hey, I hope everyone is doing well today. I see a good amount of people have Comcast digital cable in South Florida like me. I know people on here mentioned there are now new motorola interactive digital cable boxes that has 5.1 digital audio. I would like to know what model number is the new cable box with 5.1 digital audio but without the HDTV feature that comcast has?
Thanks for the help  |

Hi, i have Comcast and had the DCT-2000. Upon further review i realized that upgrading my HT couldn't include the cable box because of the RF jacks. I went in to the Comcast office and requested a newer box with Digital audio out. Needless to say they were clueless. I had them search the closets and they finally found one after i looked at the back. The model # is DCT-2524-1612. No s-video (that's almost impossible) but it has the infamous digital audio output to go into your A/V receiver. The sound is so much better now and since i have all the movie channels (premium package) i am able to experience 5.1.on the higher channels (for the most part) and improved sound on the lower ones. Hope this helped. |

Yes, on the bottom of the box it reads DCT-2524/1612. I believe the 2524 is the model # and the 1612 the version #. Mine has "Comcast" on the top left corner of the front and "Motorola" on the top right of the box. Below "Motorola" on the right side corner says "Dolby Digital". |
