No, when the cable company rents them out to you, they use the serial # off the box to assign the codes to your house that that box needs to operate. If you were to buy one at a flea market, those codes that are needed for that specific box are not assigned to your house. However if you were to plug the flea market box into a phone line, or if you were to call them and ask them if you could use that box, they will fine you over $100 for to have what they call a stolen box in your possession. If you do not pay this fine (they add it to your bill) they will leave you with bad credit history. So no it will not work, sorry.
