I've had the same problem, what a joke. First off you can't look at any promotions for your address on their website until you set up an online account. Trouble is I didn't have my account # so had to wait for next bill to come. So I wait until then, and then set up the online account, no...

My box has done this on and off since the day I got it. Its really frustrating. My box doesn't always catch the signal from the remote because of its location, so you have to aim the remote just right. So before you realize its actually the lag you might have punched in several commands...

Here is a great wikipedia link for the Motorola box (6412) and the remote. Use the volume lock section to set the remote to control your receiver instead of your TV. There's also a lot of other useful tips for other functions as well. Saved me when I switched from dish to comcast. Hope it...

Be careful if you are looking for a box to buy on ebay. As i understand it, Comcast boxes can not be purchased, only leased through them. So if you are buying one, it might be stolen.

No problem with the audio dropping out in central Massachusetts. The only complaint I have with CBS is that the audio intermittently switches between dolby and dolby 5.1, usually around the commercial breaks. More annoying than anything. So glad I wasn't losing audio during the Patriots game...

As far as I know the PIP does not work. The Moto box is not set up for it. I could never really figure why they waste money on a remote that has these buttons since nobody can use them (maybe I'm wrong, anyone that knows otherwise, please share!) As far as a better way to fast forward, I...

Not sure what Moto box you have, but if you have the 6412 or 3412 you can reprogram the remote to control your receiver for volume. By default, the remote controls the TV volume when in cable mode. Changing this setting will control the receiver volume when in cable mode. By doing this you...

Its not actually in HD. Kind of annoying really, I wish they would put something in HD in its place.

National Geographic Channel HD in Mass. Was surfing the guide last night and noticed 882 INHD2 was no longer there. That got me thinking, so I looked to see what else may have changed. To my surprise I spotted 821 NGCHD. Starting watching a show about animals in the womb in HD. Pretty good...

I had them in Gardner, MA too. Really look terrible. If I want banner ads I'll get on the internet. As far as the guide goes, losing half of your data really sucks! I didn't get to watch last night so I don't know if they are gone, but I will certainly check tonight.

I get the same thing too. I usually pause my DVR for like 5-10 seconds and then let it play. For some reason when you watch the recorded portion it doesnt do the stutter thing.

Last night the Sox were on INHD2 as well as the new 851 NESNHD channel in Gardner MA. I'd assume that maybe the games will no longer be carried on INHD2 from now on. Hopefully INHD2 will not change. How surprised was I when I noticed in the guide that not only did NESN get it's own HD slot...

Up and running in Gardner, MA with guide data:)

If I'm not mistaken, Comcast sends all of the local OTA stations that broadcast an HD signal on the basic tier unencrypted, in addition to all of the OTA SD programming. You don't need to subscribe to any extended basic or digital programming to get them. All you need is a TV with an HD tuner...

No Problem, it saved my sanity figuring out how to get back my 30 second skip. I know what you mean. I had a dish 522, and really liked it compared to the 6412. I'm used to the 6412 now, but i still find that i miss the remote from the dish box, it was very user friendly and fit nice in my...

This link gives fixes to common bugs with the 6412, including the mute during record. It also has some good shortcuts to program functions that are available on the box but not the remote. Especially handy is the 30 second skip. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_6412

The 6412 remote (the one with no PIP buttons at the bottom) does have a 10 second skip back button preprogrammed as well as FF/REW buttons. It does not come programmed with a 30 second skip forward button, which I find rather odd. The following website give instructions for several commands...

I've been using the moto 6412 III for a couple of months now after having a dish dvr for about a year. I liked the dish dvr a lot, but switched to Comcast for numerous reasons. I'm now used to the moto dvr and have found that while it is not as simple to use as dish, it suits my needs. Here...

I switched from E* back to Comcast when the HD packages and the 622 deals were announced by E*. I got a 32" HD Panasonic LCD and was waiting for E* to make their announcements. No deals there, so I went to Comcast. My biggest deciding factors was that E* would not have my regional sport net...

That does sound like a good deal. Did you call and negotiate for this deal or was it the standard offer? Rob

Thanks for the info. I'm sure I will miss my Dish DVR it works very well, but no point in DVR'g shows that I don't really care about. Sounds like Comcast might get my $. I swore I would never go back, Dish seemed like such a good deal. Such is life. I'm sure I've also said a few times I...

I currently get Dish Network. I'm thinking of coming back to Comcast for HD. Dish just announced their new HD package, but it does not include HD from any of the regional sports networks. For the most part my viewing includes my local sports (for me thats the Boston Teams). Dish HD is mostly...
