I have free time tonight, so maybe I will start an Excel spreadsheet and gather information.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19629208 Sat, 15 Dec 2007 16:33:19 EDT Re: Forum FAQ Suggestions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19627435 anon : It would be remarkably beneficial if you could create a matrix showing the varied fleet of HDMI cable boxes and HDMI DVRs in the field.

Comments about the relative pluses and minus of the models would help patient and methodical subscribers advocate for the best choices in rented hardware.

For instance, is the Pace 550 HDMI box better than the SA 4250 HDC? Processing speeds, analog quality, reliability, etc?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19627435 Sat, 15 Dec 2007 09:36:52 EDT Re: Forum FAQ Suggestions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18961238 andyross : A link to the Wikibook?

Two major contributions to this faq but surely most useful and wanted.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16067930 Wed, 10 May 2006 11:39:18 EDT Re: Forum FAQ Suggestions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15348358 joetaxpayer : sure, I just got the DCT3412. First question I'd have - I see ethernet, and firewire ports, am I legally permitted to do anything with these?
If this box were IP addressable, that would be very cool. Also, only a 120GB drive. I know I'd likely be charged for the box if I broke it, am I breaking a law by upgrading the drive to 300GB? Seems that I'm not stealing anything, but I'm sure somewhere along the way a hack like this is a felony..... nevermind on the last question.

I know how to program the 30-second skip and kind of know how to program the swap button. That info should be in a FAQ.

There's a bunch of info that everyone with a Comcast DVR would want to know.

Tips when setting up recordings.
e.g. if you have HD, and you set up a series recording that records on any channel, it'll record the regular channel instead of the HD version, if simulcast.
Recording minutes before/after a show usually isn't needed.

ADS = Analog/Digital Simulcast

Currently being implemented system-wide ADS provides simultaneous transmission of digital versions of analog channels.
Actually, internally when we say ADS we mean All Digital Simulcast.

Analog/Digital Simulcast is somewhat redundant.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14417034 Wed, 21 Sep 2005 23:14:08 EDT Re: Forum FAQ Suggestions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14320320 Bink63 : ADS = Analog/Digital Simulcast
