I'm not sure that switching to component video cables would resolve this problem anyway. I'm not sure what software you're running, but on the Passport software you can open the settings menu, press the button for more settings, and then find the menu option for display resolutions. If you...

HDMI inputs? Probably not inputs, but outputs are likely. If not a DVI connection would be included and you could use a DVI-HDMI cable.

It depends on your CBS affiliate. IIRC our CBS affiliate got the Monday Night Football game last year, but the affiliate only carried the SD feed. Our NBC affiliate got the NFL Network game and they carried the HD feed along with the SD feed. Only your local affiliate or other local people...

With the amount of effort I have heard TWC is putting towards their own proprietary DVR software it's doubtful that they'll sign a deal with TiVo like Comcast has. TWC does offer cable cards.

Not a chance, unless you get a TiVo S3 or go with a different provider.

You may find that it won't work as the box is authorized to work in a certain portion of TWC's network. Move it to a different zone/region and it may not work.

Buying a TiVo or returning the cable box are the only solutions that I am aware of.

Here's a price sheet page for your area. They usually will rent out whatever you want dependent on availability. Only you can determine the worth. Take a look at the programming packages for both providers and decide who has the most programming you want for the price you are willing to...

Well, alternatively you can run a second video output from the one box you rent to the second tv, but you will be limited to the programming being viewed on the one box. I'm not aware of any PC based cable card solutions, currently, but some may exist or are being developed. The trick is you...

Well, you can buy a TiVo series 3, pay for TiVo service, and rent 1 or 2 cable cards. You also have the choice of buying a TV/external tuner with a cable card slot and then renting a cable card from TWC. While you can find and buy cable boxes on eBay and such, cable companies are under no...

It's highly doubtful that she was damaging anything by using provided connection points. Now, if she was connecting her cable line to a wall outlet, then that would be a different story.

You may want to try using the component output from the STB to see if that also corrects the problem. It sounds like some sort of HDCP problem when using the HDMI connection. You can try unplugging the STB for some time, connecting the HDMI cable with the TV off, plugging the STB into the...

If you want HD on your new TV you will want to use a component, DVI or HDMI cable from your HD cable box. If you're using a regular cable box the composite or s-video will work.

Sounds like your box is hosed. Get a new one.

branchbouncer, I don't think you understand how this user is using the Favorites list. I actually used it the same way. If you just set up the favorites to list the channels you are watching at a given time then you can flip through just the channels you want to watch with the push of a...

We use ATSC with 8VSB modulation for digital broadcasts in the states and I believe Canada does as well.

TWC uses quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) of (I believe) ATSC signals. DVB-C appears to be the European standard for digital broadcast over cable. Why do you ask? FYI, TWC will provide the equipment necessary to view their digital signals (at a cost) and will not authorize any non...

I don't know where to point you. The reviews of the SA8300HD are split between those that get SARA or Passport software and I don't know what software type you would be getting. I would recommend looking for your local AVS forum to talk to people in your area and see what experiences they have...

Yes, you will be receiving one box that is both a dual tuner and DVR. The box you receive will depend on your location, but if you're on a waiting list you're probably in line for a SA8300HD.

Yes, that would make the most sense, but it is painfully obvious that individual TWC divisions do some negotiating on their own while the higher ups negotiate for other deals.

Depends on what we're blaming them for. While it's not OK to blame them for losing INHD2, it IS OK to blame them for a reduction in HD channels. Most of us knew for about 6 months that INHD2 was going dark, they made it public, and some TWC markets negotiated for additional HD channels while...

Not exactly since I require broadband service regardless. :D EDIT: I've also heard that "naked" DSL is available from some providers so it isn't unheard of to get DSL w/o voice.

I'm with you, but I'm in a better situation by still living in a Big Ten state (OH). The agreement with Fox says every team will have at least two games (one being a conference game) that air on the Big Ten Network. Big Ten football games will air on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 or Big Ten Network...

I've been with a (non-cable co provided) VoIP service for almost two years now. I wouldn't mind dumping the land line phone, but my wife still prefers having one. We switched originally because the Cincinnati Bell service was pretty lousy in the townhouse we were renting. Then when we moved...

There are reports of TWC divisions picking up A&E-HD, MHD, and ESPN2-HD. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=771239
