Can you help me find Moxi?

Back when I lived in Auburn and Charter Communications was my cable provider, I had a DVR that was pretty much the greatest DVR ever. The Moxi Broadband Media Center (BMC9012). The box was made by Motorola and had the greatest user interface and recording features. Now I live in Central Florida and Bright House Networks is my cable provider. I now have a Scientific Atlanta box under my TV and it has what is universally regarded as terrible software.

So here is what I think I'd like to do:

1) After talking with Bright House customer service and an independent contractor for BHN, I found out that I can get a 3rd party DVR and plug it in to BHN and tell them the serial number/address of the box, they would provision it (so they claim). So I'm looking for a Moxi Box, and monitoring ebay (which has a tone of Moxi remotes right now).

2) Charter Communications is going to the deploying Digeo's new version of the Moxi Cable Box soon, and have already started in some areas... They've got to do something with those old Moxi boxes, right? If you live in an area, and have Charter as your cable provider, and will be getting a new DVR soon, let me know what they are doing with the old ones :)

Also, I think I had a lot of caffeine today.

The new Moxi HD DVR is available for purchase and use by anyone at moxi.com. This uses a multistream CableCARD and requires a digital cable subscription. More details at www.moxi.com

Don't get my wrong, I would love a Moxi HD DVR... but the Motorola Moxi box will handle HD, and I don't have a spare $800 to throw at another TV appliance:)

Charter will not sell you one. Even if there not in use anymore it won't happen. I have seen a few on ebay before claiming they were from charter witch could be true but were hot then.
