A little more information would have been helpful, but here are my comments:

 

1. That box can be used on Legacy Digital Cable service with Rogers.

2. If you are not a Legacy Digital cable customer now, you will likely be forced to become an IgniteTV customer and that box will not work with IgniteTV.

3. Legacy Cable will likely not be available for much longer. Rumours have it that everyone (bar some MDUs) will be migrated to IgniteTV by the end of 2023.

4. Here's a post on purchasing a used box:
