    newer boxes?

    ADVERTS 1
    is CV still making you use the SciAtlanta 8300HD box for DVR use? I heard a rumor that CV was going to also use a different model or even brand... anyone have this info?

    Or will the TiVo HD boxes still work with CV - aka the dreaded switched video issues.

    reason I ask is I have DirecTV now with the HR21 boxes which work pretty good and love the HD content - BUT a tree is starting to grow enough to block the sat... and I can't think about going back to that sa8300HD box :-)

    I read the same thing on another forum. I really hope it's true. At least a software upgrademaybe...Our boxes are nothing compared to what is offered by other services such as DTV/DISH/Fios/AT&T.

    Thiers no difference in picture quality between the boxes. It's the compression ratio Cablevision uses that make the digital picture look like crap.
