A couple of questions: Is this threat to drop locals just an eastern-half-of-the-nation issue? I am seeing no messages about this on the west coast. If you compare the auto-hop to regular DVR use, is it really that much difference in how many commercials the average user will see? Half of my...

mdavej, thanks for the info. I managed to program the codes I wanted into my universal from the comcast. Halo, I think your advice made the most sense, had I thought it over a little more. I was looking for the cheapest way to breath new life into my universal, but I would have gotten another...

Sold. Comcast remote on its way I'll give it a try and see how it works. Thanks

Weird... no way to edit the timer. I went in and made the same search, and created a second timer identical to the first except for "new and reruns". Did not see it in the list. I then deleted the timer that was "new only". Voila - the timer that I just created showed up.

I was looking online for a cheap remote that would fill the bill. Still can't find my old cable remote, which I think might be around somewhere. If you see one for <$10 on ebay that would work I would be interested. I hate to retire my universal so it would be worth getting a cheap remote for...

I had my 2 hoppers/1 joey system installed a few weeks ago. The installer mentioned that the way he had to do that was to set up a 2 hopper/2 joey system (which is what was delivered), and then uninstall one of the joeys. It was a non-problem, you just need to go through that extra hurdle to...

Would a remote UEI4702 work?

So I want to record an old movie (1990) when it comes into the guide (not pay-on-demand). From "search" I set up a seek & record timer for its name. It asks whether to record "new only" or "new and reruns". What would an old movie be, should I set up "new only"? Thanks

On my 622, in the guide, if I wanted to skip ahead 1 day, I just hit the "skip ahead" button. On the hopper, it goes ahead several hours. Is there a different button or option for this? Thanks, Jeff

Since the hopper system was installed last week, both my wife’s and my own PCs have had two strange problems. Unfortunately, we installed a new HP network printer at the same time, so that is making it harder to isolate the problem. I completely uninstalled the printer drivers, software, etc...

mdavej, can you elaborate? Is there a particular button on those remotes that produces the right codes?

Sunday's CBS for me still has no auto-hop. Is there a trick to get it? I tried rewinding to the beginning of all of the shows, but no joy.

Well, the functionality that I was looking for works when the event has finished recording, and I start to view it on the hopper that it wasn't recorded on. If I am watching it on that other hopper, and then pause and go to the hopper that recorded it, I can go into the DVR list, and if I hit...

How far into the future do timers go? I have the Today Show set up to record 5 days a week, keeping only 1 episode (so it deletes each one as it goes along), into the indefinite future. So it uses up how many days against my 576 limit?

Thanks Does a 1-time timer get eliminated after its time has passed, and is therefore deleted from the count?
