I had problems recently with my HD DVR receiver and had to have an installer come out to swap out the box. While he was here....he offerred the following rumors: 1) Things are in the works to add 3-5 new HD channels to Comcast's lineup by the end of the year. 2) Comcast purchased TIVO and...

If you have a moto dvr box (I don't know about other boxes)....you can get to the favorites PG by going to "menu" then scrolling down to "favorites". This will display a PG containing only your favorites. Comcast should impove this feature by providing access to the favorites PG in one step...

one warning for you regarding OTA. The comcast box doesn't have an integrated OTA tuner and, therefore, also doesn't have an input for OTA. If you want to use it.....you'll have to support it through a separate box.

consider comcast. I spent some agonizing times these past few weeks trying to find some alternative to VOOM that wouldn't cost a mint. Although being a bit unsure.....I pulled the trigger for comcast. After having it now for about 5 days.....I'm very, very pleased. The HD content is not too...

CoastalMXer, I had the same problem regarding the line of interference at the top of some of the SD channels. I fixed it by going into the receiver setup menu (power off, hit menu) and changing the 4:3 override to "off". I originally had the override set to 480p. Since turning it off....all...

The best deal that I've heard of so far (and the one I signed up for) is the "dish buy back" deal. You get $25 off your monthly bill for 16 months. I got the digital silver package, HD dual tuner receiver for $5/month, DVR for $10/month, and a second SD receiver for another $5/month. My...

here in Chicago....got comcast installed this past Saturday. So far no TNTHD. :(( Does anyone know if they're rolling it out to all the markets? Or just select ones? The installation guy sucked. I had to do a lot of fooling around to figure out how to configure the HD receiver to output...

Basic question for you all....... What's so special about mpeg4??? Is it just a more compressed format which therefore results in more bandwidth? Or is it something else? I can't imagine it would do much of anything for pic quality since that's determined by the broadcaster and your tv...

Just to add my own voice to the mix........ Since the 7.33 software....I now have STB lockups 5 - 7 times per week. As with many others posting here....prior to 7.33 the STB lockups were rare for me. Perhaps one ever 2 - 3 months. Whats going on VOOM???? Is there anything to suggest that VOOM...

Sean.......as I posted on the other thread yestserday.....I got WGN back yesterday afternoon and it so far looks solid. So looks like things are all back. I think the thing that irked me the most regarding all of this is the fact that the VOOM CSR tried fixing the issue by telling me that WGN is...

Update on the missing WGN. It's now back on both of my STBs. As far as I can tell....nothing has changed on the STB in regards to software or HAL versions (2.40 and 7.33, respectively). So I'm unsure of what made the channels to suddenly make a re-appearance. Especially since no local channel...

Ronald, As I understand things.....once you put in the RF in the OTA Aim menu....you must follow-up with a OTA rescan in order to get the channel. Once the re-scan is complete...hit save and then give it a try. If you aren't having the same troubles I, and it appears some others, have been...

I tried several times last night to get the channel to come in. The thing I don't get is why I am able to get a 97 - 98 signal strength at WGN's RF of "19", which indicates to me that there is certainly something there, and yet the local channel scan skips right on by it with nothing more than...

I double checked using: http://www.nab.org/Newsroom/issues/digitaltv/DTVStations.asp It shows WGN digital at RF 19. Since I've had not troubles with receiving this station for the last 10 months. Then I've got to believe its loss has to do with something that has occurred in the last 24 hrs...

Sean, I checked the local channels and saw that 9-1 and 9-2 (the ones I'm now missing) are both there and are not hidden. When I look at the PG I see that both channels show up and even have program info (the STB has been reset several times today...so this is recent downloaded info). I...
