I think it's b.s. for the basic cable jacks. I just had cable installed and the guy ran a 2 way splitter to get it to the televisions downstairs. One basic, one digital. A few days later I decided I wanted basic in my upstairs gameroom so I replaced the 2 way with a 3 way splitter and the...

This has got to be a joke. Nobody could actually expect damages for misuse of a product could they? I'm going to sue Dell because they sold me a computer that I use to play a video game. I really enjoy playing the game so I haven't gotten enough sleep and my performance at work has...

Um, no. You damaged your set.

"I think we're in the right place at the right time," Josh Sapan, Rainbow Media CEO and president, says in his Manhattan corner office, situated nine floors above what Voom executives say is the largest HD post-production facility in the country. I got an idea - how about you move out of the...

This doesn't really make sense. If you have functioning IPTV why would you need a dish hooked up? They can supply 100's of channels over IPTV. I think this is the future if it is truly scalable. We'll see in the next 18 months how realistic their goals are.

Isn't this called a "site license"? I think this is fairly common in the s/w business (at least with the situations I'm aware of).

Really? I pay $30/month for a year including HBO & SHO with an HD 2 tuner DVR. Haven't had any problems so far. No my e* experience is another story. Many problems and lied to many times.

SBC may also have their IPTV service up and running by next spring. Just another option to keep prices down while getting better service.

I ended up doing a reset of the box and adding my series recording without extending the end times. It didn't reset this morning so that was likely the problem. Thanks again.

Thanks rad! Some good information to search through there.

I recently started having the following problem: My 6412 will lock up at 4:20 (am & pm) every day. I have tried leaving it on, turning it off, but same results. When I leave it on it will still show the channel I was watching but I can't change the channel or turn it off. I have to unplug...

FYI - Aaxes.com has the remote for $179.95. Still a pretty good deal (although not AS good as Scott's).

Hi Wayne, The settings I lose are the main display settings (16x9 display, 1080i resolution, stretch non-HD feeds). It seems like the are gone every morning. I will try leaving the receiver on overnight. Thanks.

What does everybody think about VOD? So far I really like it. I just wish that: 1. They would offer some of the shows in HD (e.g., some of the HBO & SHO series that are normally shown in HD). 2. I've noticed a problem where the show will occasionally lock up for a couple of minutes. I...

If you go to the main menu (menu twice) there is a search option with four boxes with alpha/numeric characters. Enter as many characters as you want and press enter. This will list all shows with the character string you selected. I hope this makes sense. I'm at work so I'm trying to...

OK, I set the display settings in the menu. The problem is - whenever I watch a non-digital cable channel it seems like the box resets to factory defaults. Is this normal? Should I only watch the digital channels? It's kind of a PIA to change the settings everytime I watch a non-digital channel.

You cannot record the VOD shows onto the HD. I moved from the 921 to the 6412 and it's o.k. It takes a while getting used to the different feel.

The TV will not adjust if connected via DVI or HDMI. It will assume the feed is HD. Most set-top boxes have the abaility to stretch SD and show HD in normal format. I've found the SD PQ on my Sammy DLP to be good with both D* & Comcast.

I did the remote programming and it seems to work fine. Maybe try it again???

It took about an hour for my guide to populate once I called to get it activated. I would ask for a new box if this isn't fixed in a day or two. Good luck. I'm starting to enjoy the box now that I'm getting used to the features and remote (I had Dish for 8+ years so it's a pretty big...

I agree on the HD ondemand. Especially HBO & SHO.

Thanks Bruce. Not a very intuitive way to get to that menu but it worked. Much thanks for the info. So far I'm pretty happy with the box. I figured out the search feature and it works great.

OK, I just picked up a DCT6412 yesterday. This is my first cable receiver. I am switching from Dish Network. My first question is this - Does the 6412 provide any display options (e.g., stretch, zoom, normal)? My display won't stretch the picture if I connect via DVI. My Dish 921 provided...

I'm not sure whether the $5 HD fee would still apply. They are coming to do the install tomorrow so I'll pop back on here and post the total monthly cost. Either way I'm saving about $40/month over my satellite bill with almost the same channel lineup.

I just signed up (switching from Dish). The deal they gave me is $29.95/month for digital cable + HBO & Showtime. Equipment cost is $9.95 for HD DVR box. We watch 90% of our shows on the HD so I elected to just have the one receiver. Total bill will be around $45 including tax for the...
