Outputs from UPC Digital (non-DVR) box?

    I have UPC digital (the 130 channel yoke) with the DVR box. The DVR box is ****e, and I'd like to replace it with something.

    I have an Elgato EyeTV, which takes a co-ax in, and works grand. Right now, the DVR has a SCART out (which I put in the TV) and a coax out (which I put in the EyeTV so it can change channels and record when I'm not there).

    So I'm wondering two things:

    - What luck have people had getting UPC to take back the DVR? I've had it about 4 months.
    - What outputs do the 'normal' digiboxes have, do they have a scart and a co-ax like the DVR.

    Thanks :-)

    The biggest plus to having the UPC DVR is that you only have to set one timer. If you connect up another DVR you will need to set the timer for that and for the UPC station you wish to record. I had this setup before and it was a pain in the ass.
