So a lot of times when I watch my DVR (channel 1000) and I finish my show, I hit the channel up button which brings me to channel 2. A few days ago, it brought me to channel 1035 (ESPN2). I continued to "Channel Up" and noticed all the local sports channels are now in SD in the 1000 range. There...

That's my plan, I was just curious if an HD-DVR will work on a non HDTV. I imagine it will.

I need to buy a DVR for the bedroom. I have and HD DVR downstairs on my HDTV. The bedroom TV is not an HDTV. My question is, can I get another HD DVR and hook it up to a non-HDTV? Down the road, I will probably get an HDTV in the bedroom. I figure if I am swapping out boxes, I might as well get...

Very True.

When I was buying mine, the WD were impossible to find. I went with the 500g from Apricorn. If you can swing it, I would pay $150 for the 1T model. Mine was $180 for the 500g when I bought it. Apricorn DVR Expander

I saw on a DTV forum that they are getting letters that there is a free preview of Center Ice Feb 16-22....maybe that's for all systems?

where are you? I'll have to check when I get home, but I'm in central NJ and I am usually the last day for these things too.

I'm satisfied. Now if they could only get...... ;)

You can call them and tell them you are going to cancel. My co-worker called to cancel his, and they gave him another year at the same price. I don't know for sure that they will do the same thing for you, but if you are going to cancel because of the rates, it's worth a shot. Worst they can say...

any idea what happened or what he did? Just in case I run in to the same situation down the line.

unsupported is correct. Cablevision won't support the drive, you'd have to check with Apricorn. But, this is one of the recommended drives from Cablevision. So, while Cablevision acknowledges and approves the use of Apricorn drives with the 8300 boxes, the user (myself included) still takes the...

I don't think he's blaming Cablevision....He asked if anyone had the same issue with the DVR expander after the update and then mentioned he is probably leaving Cablevision soon anyway, so he would've lost those recordings at some point.......that's my take anyway.

I have the 500g DVR expander and as far as I can tell, it still works fine after the update. I would call their technical support (1-800-458-5448).

I'll check, but my co-worker has the exact same issues with this channel.

So, sometimes I like to watch Family Guy on Cartoon Network (11pm-12am M-Th). I noticed that MANY times, the picture will be pixilated or freeze or even go black. Sometimes there is no audio, sometimes there is continued audio with a frozen or black picture. The first time, I re-booted the box...
