How good is it and instalation

Installation was a simple swap of boxes and an additional modem/router for wideband. You should insist on the Cisco boxes if possible. They are far superior to the Samsung boxes we initially had.

Approximately $199 a month for us (2 Dvrs, 1 slave, no premium channels).

Multiroom DVR is very simple, you get a whole house DVR and your choice of other DVRs or client playback set tops. You can view recorded content from another box that it was not recorded on. In order to delete, edit or schedule recordings you need to do it from the DVR that the content is/was recorded on. Some of that may be changing with future firmware upgrades though. I’m running ODN 4.0, and can’t speak for 4.1 or the upcoming 4.5. Other than that the interface is exactly like a regular DVR. The multiroom DVRs come with 500GB hard drives, for Ciscos you get the Explorer 8642HDC DVR and Explorer 4642HDC regular digital set top terminal if you wish to have one. Not sure about the specific model numbers for Samsung boxes. When you go to play a recorded event from another DVR, there is a slight delay, it doesn’t begin instantly as it has to communicate with the rest of your MOCA network. You get a similar sceen that you get when accessing On Demand content, your program begins playing usually within 5 seconds or less.

Not sure what the rate is as I have Signature Home and it's included in that.

Whole house DVR is a part of TWC's Signature home package. Sorry for any confusion. This also includes high speed internet (50 Mb down 5 Mb up) and expedited service and support.

This describes it pretty well. You get the Top TV package, 50/5 internet, and digital voice.
