CableVision DVR's?

I wouldn't count on it.

Correct, in fact I hear that CV will stay with two SD/HD boxes (4200 and 4250). They are not buying DVR-boxes. They are deploying their RS-DVR (network dvr) service soon.

Lets just hope that works better then the shit they have now.

I understand that some have had a bad time with 8300. I haven't had as bad a time as these accounts. Mine does crash every 2-3 months, but it reboots fine. You need to be careful to power-up the remote disk before reinitializing the cable box. I have found the 1TB external drive to permit recording of hundreds of hours of HDTV. We save multiple episodes of favorite programs, just as others say, and we do the Tennis coverage for things like the French Open.

I am a new guy here switching over from FIOS next week On the HD dvr can you access SD channel want that for recording to DVDs.??? I don't like the squashed picture from Hi_DEF.
Thanks in advance. Bill

Why are you switching from Fios?

I have done the same thing. IF you record an SD channel (not an HD channel the puts black-bars on the right and left), THEN you can full-screen copy it to a DVD UNLESS the channel deploys strict copy protection. Some DVD recorders (notably Sony) detect the 'copy protection' (used by some NBC channels, perhaps others) and decline to transcribe the DVR content.

Does that answer your question?
