DCT2000 specifications

The Motorola DCT2000 and DCT2500 are digital cable television set-top boxes that have made significant contributions to the evolution of digital television viewing. Designed for cable operators and consumers alike, these models offer a plethora of features that enhance the viewing experience while providing robust solutions for service providers.
