The General Instrument/Motorola DCT2000 is a cable box used for watching TV. These set-top boxes were popular in the late 1990s up until the mid to late-2000s, when the adoption of more sophisticated successors, namely those set-tops with the ability to record live programming began. The DCT2000 was used by Comcast, Service Electric in the United States, and Shaw Cable in Canada. A version called the QIP2500 is used by providers such as Verizon FiOS.

Features[]

The unit features coaxial connections for connecting it to the cable company's signal and to the user's TV or VCR. There are also composite (and, in some models, S-Video) connections for a high-quality connection to a TV or VCR. In order to provide 2-way communication (e.g. ordering PPV from the remote), the unit can feature an integrated RF return or a STARFONE option which uses the telephone landline to connect.^[1]
