| Cool Feature Suggestions
Some ideas I've had that might or might not be possible to implement:
* Ability to set DVR to record a show remotely from the web. Very useful when you see a show on and you won't be around to set the recording automatically. This might be a bit more difficult considering you use i-Guide almost unchanged as far as I can see.
* Updated firmware and software for DCT3416 (Software: 75.58-rel-9078 and firmware 16.43). The new software has some nice new features, including smarter DVR functionality
* HD Video On Demand. I know this requires alot of bandwidth, but its a nice feature to have, especially if you can get some content for free.
* SDV might help with any bandwidth problems (Switched Digital Video). Not sure if the Motorola's can handle it. |

Port Perry, ON | - I'd like to see that too. Not sure how to implement it, haven't come across any solutions to do so.
- We just updated the firmware, got any info about this new one?
- Working on that.
- Probably in a couple years. |

Port Perry, ON | Oh, this is Guide software, not box firmware. This might be the A25 version of the Guide which still might be in beta? Anyways, I'll look into it and see if it's available to us yet. |
