Directv vs Dishnetwork HD channel lists Thanks for the comparisons between Dish and Directv in terms of HD line-up. Although I love the Voom channels, I will be leaving Dish and going back to Directv (had them from 2002-2005 then went to ill-fated Voom) if Dish is unwilling or unable to match...

Tnthd & Espn2 Hd I have to really take my hat off to the folks in South Jersey and anywhere else that have been deprived of TNT HD. When I joined Comcast last year (on the Dish buyback promo after Voom went Doom), the fact that Comcast in Baltimore City had just added TNTHD made switching to...

DSL versus Comcast I feel your pain John & CF. Comcast only increases the speeds in area that already have FIOS. So here in Baltimore city which (unlike Baltimore county) Verizon does not seem pressed to bring in FIOS anytime soon we are stuck with 6mbps/384 or 8mbps/768kbps Comcast tiers until...

Faster Internet Speeds Hey John, Long time no see! I have been hearing about these new speeds for a while. I know that they have initiated them in Reston VA and in some other select locations to combat (or try to combat) FIOS. Do you know when they will be wide spread (as in when they will...

Dct-6416 Interesting........do you know off hand how much they cost? I live about an hour from Cox territory in Northern VA, it would be worth a trip if they have any retail stores down there. Will Comcast allow the use of a non-Comcast-rented box? Thanks! Wayne

Uhd We got UHD (new channel 250) Thurs and get to keep INHD2 (channel 227). So I think it will be around for a while here in Baltimore. Wayne

Dct-6416 I have a Phase III (as well as the previous version) but they are both DCT-6412. Two of the differences between Phase III and the earlier version is the Phase III has HDMI output and coax output. I heard of the DCT-6416 even before the Phase III 6412 came out. I imagine that...

Dish buyback promos My deal when Voom folded was one year of Digital cable for $29.99 per month, a free (no monthly $14.95) DCT-6412 HD DVR (with HD of course) and $5 per month each for the premiums channels (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Stars, & the movie channel for a total of $25). Addtional...

Channel will be available soon I see that especially when going from SD to HD stations. The delay can be anywhere from 1 sec to what feels like 10 seconds but if you wait, the channels will appear. I did not know that it was specific to the Motorola DVRs (oh well). Other than the DCT-6412 is...

Hi All, Does anyone reading this forum know anything about FIOS status for central Marlyand? I hear that they are laying lines in Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, but what about Baltimore city and County? Has Verizon even started franchise negotiations with these municipalities (for TV). My...

Could be.......they should have made it to Series in 2003 ...but for that disastrous inning.

HD Net and HDNet movies Hey HDTVTechno, First, congrats on the Whitesox! They deserved it! As a long suffering Red Sox fan (grew up in CT) , I know the thrill of ending an 86 or 87 year series drought. I will definitely be emailing Comcast on adding stations like HDNet...

Speed Tests

Sound Delay No problems here in Baltimore on HD stations. The only thing I ever noticed was that both video and sound are delayed (but in sync) in the DCT-6412 compared compared to the non-DVR Motorola HD box that I sometimes have on in another room (if I have the volume up loud enough to hear...

Manual Recording on DCT-6412 Hi Crippe, Here's what you do: 1) Delete that show that the guide has running from 9:00 to 10:01PM (if it is a "season pass show and it conflicts only one time then temporarily remove it and reinstate it later when no conflict exists). 2) Hit the "menu" button...

FIOS and Montgomery County I ran my cousin's number on the Verizon FIOS availability query site probably as long ago as June and FIOS was available in Bethesda (in southern Mont. Co.) at least as early as May or June. I also saw in a Comcast internet news group, that one of the posters...

I have also been won over to the DCT-6412 After lambasting the Motorola DCT-6412, I must say that after swapping the crappy box for a new one, I have had no complaints. It does everything we ask of it (unlike the first box). I like it so much that I got a second one (this time with HDMI) and...

Comcast and HD: only 4 Non-Premium Cable HD stations I'm a Comcast Cable customer since Voom went belly up on April 30th (went from over 40HD stations with Voom to 10 HD stations with Comcast). Comcast has not added even one national HD channel in the Baltimore area since April 22nd when...

DCT-6412 Defaults Hi Glenn, Which settings switch back to the defaults? Do you turn off your box at night? Supposedly the DCT-6412 functions better when it stays on. This link provides other valuable info on the DCT-6412. http://www.dvrchatter.com/viewtopic.php?id=8 Happy...

After being told that I could not just go pick up the 3rd generation (I think that is what they call it) Motorola DCT-6412 HD DVR and after the installation guy showed up 1 hour past the window with the old DVI version, I finally was told that I could go over to Comcast Baltimore city...

Dish buy back For my dish buyback, the $29.95 paid for one year of digital cable, one dual tuner HD-DVR (motorola DCT-6412) and HD service on the box (again for one year). After the year is over, the digital cable alone will be at least around $65 and the HD-DVR will be $14.95 more per month...

76.640 Wow talk about a loophole that Comcast has driven a truck through! We might be lucky that they ran out of Scientific Atlanta boxes (if they ever used them) in nearby Baltimore. John....you may have more luck with the Direct sales folks at Comcast. They have liberties that the in house...

Looks like they have them! I called Comcast and they now have the DCT-6412 with HDMI (in Baltimore area). I scheduled a service call to swap out my DVI version. Wayne

FIOS in VA Thanks for the info! What is the best way to glean this info? Is Verizon responsive to queries or do you go to the various counties to find out? I would like to do the same in MD. Everytime I ask Verizon people, I get the "I don't know" response. I am probably not asking at the right...

HDMI on 6412 I will keep calling them........ or maybe (when I drop off modem.... bought my own...) I will ask them in person here in Baltimore about HDMI boxes. Wayne
