This reminds me of an experience I had at the Sprint store. When you walk in they have a podium and they take your name. Then you sit in the waiting area where you can help yourself to bottled water and sunchips until you are called. I only needed a charger, but had to wait until I was called. Silly

Is there really a reason to buy a Tivo from a retailer anymore? Do most cable companies not offer this is a monthly ad on service now?

Well, I see everyone else already beat me to this, but yes, you can use a standard mini-USB cable to charge the Audiovox SMT5600.

Btw, I have two of them for sale if anyone’s interested. Chargers included.

I also have the Audiovox SMT5600 and can confirm that it charges via the usb cable.

Hmmmm… Josh, I was not aware that hte Audiovox STM5600 could charge via the USB cable. I will have to try this out. I always thought it could only charge via the adapter.

Thomas, the Audiovox SMT5600 Smartphone charges over a standard mini-USB adapter. You can get any mini-USB cable (you probably have several sitting around), and charge your phone over USB on a computer, or get an AC-to-USB adapter (standard specs are 5V, 1000mA) and it should work. Boxwave has lots of different cable and charger options for cheap.

Hope that helps!
