I've been on Comcast internet cable for about 6 weeks now. When I first signed up, I was routinely getting DL speeds of 22Mbps and 3.5Mbps up. I'm still getting close to the 3.5 Mbps up, but my download speeds have fallen off to 5-10 Mbps (mostly more toward 5Mbps). Was I getting a teaser...

Thanks to all for help with getting a cable modem. What are EMTA modems? It appears that they are straight modems. I would prefer one with a built-in wireless router along with the 4 ethernet outputs. I guess I'l mosey down to Best Buy and Walmart to take another look. My local Best Buy...

Thanks, I've give them a call and take a run at the switch. A deals a deal in my book. However, after the last experience I know I'm going to get some grief.

After reading a few posts here, I'm starting to think my Zoom modem in this thread may be fine. I think the negative posts were dated about 2 years ago and things may have changed. Still would appreciate any input. I'm keeping my DSL account until I see my Comcast access up and running...

In the Air Force, we said DFWIIIAB!

I bought a lifetime subscription about 6 years ago. Granted, I have gotten my money's worth. However, when I bought the subscription, I was told I could transfer it 3 times. About 2 years after I got the subscription, I called to switch to a new vehicle and was told they no longer do this. I...

After about 3 years of Qwest DSL, I want to come back to Comcast cable for my internet needs. I understand that I can lease a modem for $7 a month, but would prefer to buy one. I find the Comcast online recommended modems very confusing. I want a modem/wireless router. I would prefer the N...

And HOW do you get HD/SD movies that are not yet available on the regular outlets like HBO? Yes, if you want to wait for the trickle down movie food chain. I'm not a NetFlix customer, so I don't know if they get the PPV movies before they hit HBO, etc or not. Personally, I "rent" most of my...

Maybe, but I'm guessing not. As far as I know, all DTV DVR's come with an RF remote for starters and all DTV boxes without DVR come with an IR remote. I'm doing basically the same thing you want to do except I'm using a IR extender (available from Radio Shack and elsewhere for around $25)...

Better have a "Unlimited Data" plan. Much of this type streaming will put you over the 2GB limit in a hurry.

In my Series Manager, I see a number after some of the shows in my list. For example, "Hung (2)..." What does the 2 stand for? Sometimes the number is either "0 or 1". The only thing I can come up with is on an "overlap" situation where there are 2 shows being recorded, one displaying a 2...

Hey, camping doesn't involve any stinkin' TV. Get out of the tent and explore the great outdoors. Now if it involves the Super Bowl, that's another story.

If your DTV bill is $100 a month, DTV is NOT making that much on your deal. MLB takes their cut and all the other satellite stations also get their cut. As to what's left for DTV, I haven't a clue, but I'm going to guess is's some less than 1/2 of your monthly fee. What stations that you're...

I'm waiting for 3D. Coming at you.

At my age, I only need it for about 3 minutes. Do they have a "senior citizen" rate?

Well, it certainly has been confusing me as to why my shows were not being recorded. However, I don't understand why the guide has not been updating like it should have. Re "Hung" coming up on Sunday, the guide definitely showed the shows date as '09 (I don't remember the exact day it showed)...

Thanks. I thought it might be simple. The "zeros" were the confusing thing. Most of my Season Pass shows are not currently being aired and hence, the zero after their title.

I'm wondering what the numbers mean behind the Title in the series manager. For example, on... The Closer (02) I've never seen a number higher that 2 and quite often (in fact most) of the shows show a (00) after their title. There doesn't appear to be any correlation between the numbers and...

I reset my DVR and that updated the schedule so that it correctly shows a new episode of Hung coming up on this Sunday. As to why I wasn't getting the last two weeks, I went into my Series Manager and discovered that it was set to record "Hung" on channel 70 (the old HBO HD channel from...

For some reason the DTV schedule does NOT show the new season of "Hung" which started on July 4th. I have it setup to record new episodes of the series, but because the program guide shows last year's episodes and my Season Pass is only setup to record new episodes, so far none of the last two...

Not sure what you mean by "media player". However, I have a method that works although it has nothing to do with a HDDVR. On one of my DTV HD receivers, I have an output (s-video) that feeds an old Tivo receiver (Series II). I record mainly HBO movies on the Tivo. I then access them via Tivo...

Why should anyone be surprised at this? A GREAT number of Americans are simply DUMB (maybe over 50%). And they are getting dumber all the time. The best indicator is to take a look at who they vote for. I'm surprised that Costco hasn't gone out of this business a long time ago with their...

Who cares? I saw a Samsung 3D down at Fry's a few weeks ago and wasn't impressed that much. First, if you're going to have a TV party (Super Bowl or whatever), you're going to need a lot of $100 a pair glasses as they only give you 2 with the set. Then, I though the 3D effect got in the way...

Hey, if you slipped through the cracks, SHHHHHHHHHHS. The worst that can happen is to be billed later.

Another EI option... This year after testing it out, I decided to go with MLB.com for their EI operation version. Finally cost for the year was $99 (I went with the $20 off option although I had to subscribe to Sports Illustrated for $20). First, I would have to say IF you want to watch...
