Lots of options. I think if I'm going to drop a couple hundred, it'll be a channel master, Tabelo or Tivo, probably not the HD Home run as much as I like it. I'm most likely to pick up that cheap $40 Mediasonic box and move to something fancier and more expensive if we stick OTA for longer than...

TBS is not OTA in my area. That was my clue that my cable provider may not be blocking everything and why I dug the antenna out. I'll have to compare channel listings from the cable feed versus the antenna tomorrow night, looks like I won't make it home in time to do it tonight. I'm looking...

I get nothing from cable. The wire is acting as an antenna near as I can tell. The subchannels that I see on my local stations are nowhere on the cable service. I was happy to find Buzzr, as I was a GSN addict. I plan to compare tonight or tomorrow what channels I get from the cable line...

I cut the cord. My main living room TV has no digital tuner. Bedroom TV does. If I hook up the cable line in the bedroom I get 40+ channels, TBS is one, but otherwise it looks like it's all broadcast TV in the expected spots. I plan to test with an antenna as well to see which gets me more. I...

Any news on seeing a feed of this in Tampa? I know about the non-HD feed, but it's about the only standard def channel I watch regularly anymore.

$100 install fee?!? Hello, Verizon? How much is your install fee for multi-room DVR? What? $0? I'd like to set up an appointment...

Remote management is now live for me in the Tampa market.

Is brighthouse going to make my christmas moredinary with a sweet multi-room and online management package? Dang, my wallet hurts...

Anyone got a date for the Tampa area? I don't have it yet.

You're kidding. I missed that. I'll have to try it when I get home.

My kingdom for a way to root the box, just so I can add this feature. Yet another reason to get a standard HD box, and build a PVR with an IR blaster. Thanks for the help.

Can I get up a manual recording for a show not in the guide? I want to DVR the rain-delayed nascar race. Surely there's a better way than picking 3 separate spots and saying "end recording 2 hours later" Customer service had no idea. Anyone here found a way?

Yeah, went from basic cable to digital

That's how I pitched it to the wife: Up about $60, but down $10 since I dropped from 15meg to 10 meg RR and we're saving $8.99 a month by dropping netflix. Since BH had no HD boxes, I got a DVR free for a month. She's hooked on that and already said we can keep it. yay!

I'm on a 4:3 screen, but it's the same on either shape. I had (mistakenly) assumed that the box would add the letterboxing as necessary on channels that need it (since I get that effect on 480 modes) -- apparently I'm expecting too much per the brighthouse tech.
