    A 24/7 3D channel which plays everything that is available for free on their 3D On Demand, ESPN 3D and many 3D pay per view movies, most of which are $6.95 for a 24 hour rental. Shelly

    Recording 3D????

    Wow this sure is a dead forum. Anyway, I was easily able to record some ESPN 3D programs and play back in 3D. Very convenient. Shelly

    Recording 3D????

    I'm returning to Comcast once more after almost 2 years with Dish. I have the 3400 HD DVR and my service will begin next week. I was told that I can record the 3D programs from the Comcast 24/7 3D or ESPN 3D channels? But that I could not record any VOD movies I purchase. Can anyone...

    Moto DCT 3412 vs. Moto DCH 3416 differences

    Thanks for the reply. I'll have to go back to their office to confirm the increased memory of the 3416, as the person there the other day said that the memory was the same as the 3412. Shelly

    Moto DCT 3412 vs. Moto DCH 3416 differences

    I've been using the Moto DCT 3412 and just yesterday, checked with my local Comcast office and learned that they are now using the DCH 3416. I asked about differences and all they could tell me was that the newer DCH model has a cable card inside (and that it may not recognize the box with...

    Any new Hd Channels due out?

    In the Salinas/Monterey CA area, we just got AmcHD, FoodHD, SciFiHD, CNNHD and a couple of others as well. Still waiting for Disney HD and ABC FamilyHD. I just quit Dish Network, the last of my satellite services as Comcast now has most everything that I watch. Shelly

    Comcast DVR

    Thabnks for the explanation. My box is set to output 1080i. If I watch fox, nbc et al during the day when they do not have any hd, the hd channels of these stations have black bars along the 4:3 picture which I totally understand. But if I go to the lowere channel numbers of these same...

    Comcast DVR

    Not sure what you mean. I just swapped my 6412 for the 3412, which shows all the analog channels as well as the digital ones. I also have the coax connected directly to the tv to enable my pip. As far as I can tell, there seems to be no difference betweent the two models. MY remote did...

    I hace two HD dvr's, each connected to a separate a/v sysem. I have had this setup for quite a while and always had the DD 5.1 audio. Using the digital optical audio output, I no longer get DD from either box. Both receivers indicate pcm audio from the optical connection. I have Dish hd as...

    Monterey Bay, CA Comcast comes through.

    Our local Comcast has been providing Fox, NBC, and CBS high def networks + numerous otheer cable hd channels like InHd 1&2, Disc et al. But now ABC. this would have been the first year since the Superbowl was in hd that I could not get it. (Previously had BEV for ABC hd. but dropped them last...

    Verification from DTV needed for Comcast

    You're a liar and dishonest. What goes around comes around. That said, the odds are in your favor that you will not have to show any invoice to your installer. I didn't but he did notice the 6 dishes on my roof so probably assumed that I was coming from some satellite service. Shelly

    comcast replaces wiring--no more tiling

    The main cable feed (decades before Comcast came here) to our home was done in 1979 with a fairly thin coax. aI recently activated Comcast HD and got tons of picture breakups (tiling) on hd channels. ESPN was unwatchable. Also could not receive one of my local hd channels at all. Comcast...

    comcast installed--won't last long

    Well, things have improved since I started this tthread. I am learning to speed shift the remote now that I understand its quirks. The most important thngs I have learned are (1) instant access to music channels using the Enter button (2) program guide begins with current channel only when...

    S-video from SD boxes

    I refused the digital box without s-video and without digital audio and am using just the hd box, non dvr, and there is a $5/month charge for any hd box. If you had the hd dvd, it would be $5 + $10 dvd fee. My local Comcast will give hd box over the counter without any special need to have it...

    comcast installed--won't last long

    I've been playing with the remote most of the day and have discovered something about the program guide. If I chose a channel from scrolling in the program guide, and then press the Guide button, it (the guide) will begin with the currently watched channel. If I chose a channel from the...

    comcast installed--won't last long

    It's a Motorola DTC 6200/2005 (I assume this is manufacturing date.) Another quirk: if I am listening to a Music Choice channel, and press Favorites button--just my Music Choice Favorites are included in the favorites list as I scroll. If I am watching any other Favorites channel, no...

    comcast installed--won't last long

    No dvr in my area. Program guide always starts with channel 2. If lisening to a music channel, my Favorites button only scrolls through the Favorite music channels, not the complete Favorites list. If I am on a hd channel, and switch to my sd input (s-video), if I am still on any of the...

    I did it... ordered Comcast

    Four months ago, I tried to expand my Comcast basic limited service with a digital package and the receiver used did not even have a digital audio output, despite their claims to offer DD 5.1 sound. So I cancelled. The Monterey area Comcast is playing catch up with the rest of the Comcast...

    I did it... ordered Comcast

    I'm getting a bit crazy with Comcast. I decided to drive to their nearest office in Monterey, CA to learn from the local technicians what can actually be received in my area in Carmel Valley, CA. I spoke with the chief in charge of installations. They do, indeed, have HD available but no...

    I have received several conflicting csr reports from Comcast as to availability of hd and hd dvr in my area. Just checked again and now found out that there is NO hd and NO hd dvr in my area. Comcast sucks. 5 csr's said yes, 2 said no, and now this latest news. I cancelled my install with...

    I did it... ordered Comcast

    Comcast sure offers different services depending on where you live. I am in the Monterey, CA area and have scheduled Comcast to upgrade me to Digital Platinum Plus on next Wednesday. There is no hd dvr available to me as yet, although there are hd channels (HBO, Starz, Show, Cinemax, ESPN...
