Hi Shikyo , we don't usually recommend buying or selling boxes on FB marketplace due to privacy & security concerns. That said, if you do plan on purchasing anyway, you may want to look into the 4K models (you will need a breakout cable to connect to a RCA TV). In addition, if you are on Copper, you may need to call in to register the STB. 2 PVRs will technically work, but may have registration issues, especially on Copper as the system won't allow adding 2 PVRs to generate the registration codes, and the codes are unique to device type. hope that helps with your search.

Thank you Kate
I couldn’t understand everything you mentioned
On Copper, do you mean hardwired?
“2 PVRs will technically work “ I guess as Nighthawk mentioned PVR has to be connected with wire, so in my case having 2 PVRs wouldn’t be an easy solution. Am I right?
Thank you for your help in advance.

IF you have HDMI in on the TV , don't need the breakout cable.
Copper referring to copper wire to the house, as oppose to fiber optics. I think because of it's speed limitations. my guess.
