can i do this--time warner cable/dvr q

my mom is living in the dark ages and still has a vcr..she tapes tons of shows to the point that now she has a vcr in both rooms LOL!!!

I told her get dvr will ya!!!! she thinks it will be "too complicated" mind u she is 50 yrs old, very hip, loves the computer yet is scared of the dvr??

anyway her bday is coming up and i literally want to go to her house, steal her cable box..go to the time warner store and switch it for the dvr box...

i plan on paying for it each month --ill just give her a check...but if i go to time warner do i need to show proof i m her?

will they ask for id, or an account number?

i obviously know her address, name the whole nine yards..

i want it to be a surprise so im not sure how to do it...

thanks!!!
