I'd love to be able to watch a DVR-d episode of The Colbert Report on one TV while my wife watches a DVR-d Dancing With the Stars on another. I'll bet that whenever Time Warner gets around to it, they'll make Multi-Room DVRs an additional fee.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19449308 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 13:10:16 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19449146 koolkid1563 : I don't know about the IP connections. When we had TWC, in the diagnostics section of our SA8300HD the STB had an IP from the cable headend. I don't know if that means anything though.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19449146 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 12:49:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19449092 whamel : now that I read what I read, I sound like an idiot.
Never knew this technology existed until now.
BUT to make IP based remote connections, wouldnt the server also need internet capability? Either via Ethernet/home router /cable modem setup or by making the "server" function as the modem as well? And from there have ethernet hookups on the "server" for client computer connections....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19449092 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 12:41:25 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19449081 reelbigfish : Isn't the idea to have 1 DVR and then a bunch of regular STBs? I liked Time Warner Cable's idea to have all the content stored at the head end and then just have regular STBs on every TV to take advantage of the content. Of course the content providers threw a fit and that innovative idea.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19449081 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 12:38:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19449048 koolkid1563 : Isn't that kind of how the Scientific Atlanta 8300HD Multi-Room box (»scientificatlanta.com/products/c···HDMR.htm) works? From what I understand, the Multi-room box is the DVR 'server' in a sense, then you have non-DVR boxes watch shows from the 'server' unit.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19449048 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 12:34:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19448980 whamel : ...but wouldnt it be easier to implement, and more cost effective...in regards to troubleshooting, to have a central DVR "server" and minimally featured set tops? I feel it simplifies the narrowing down of bugs and other problems. Maybe a remote support/management feature using a RDP (not necessarily MSFT's RDP technology) to the "server". Then stupid "internal" problems can be more efficiently handled increasing both the botttom line and customer satisfaction..?!?!?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19448980 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 12:21:48 EDT
