My son is away at college. School offers IPTV but has no more converter boxes. School rents them for $40 a year which I would gladly pay if he could get one.
Is there an alternative box he can pick up for a reasonable price. Used is fine as he will pass it on to next years incoming class. I see some on auction sites, but am unsure if they will work or not.
Below is the link to info the school post. I know virtually nothing about this setup but online owners manual says the boxes they use are Video Furnace brand.

Thanks in advance for your help.
