Rancho Murieta Cable & Broadband uses a number of different set top boxes each with different features and different monthly costs. The cost of the box is based upon the purchase price RMA pays for the box. Some boxes cost between $400-$500 each.

This page will briefly review the different boxes and their features and provide links to download the full User Guide for each box.

Please Note: Any account that has a set top box (or cable card) or any digital service that requires RMA to pay a third party for box control or billing will require a $5 monthly Digital Service Charge in addition to the cost of the service or box to cover RMA's cost for this service. This charge is applies only once per customer, not per box or service.
