I am sure people will moan about that.

| Re: tuning times? must be some fast tuners there... because on digital alone with no SDV our SA8300HD boxes can take up to 2 seconds to turn a channel.... I can't imagin a SDV video with a reolving channel carosuel would be faster here... one of the techs that as out a couple weeks ago told me "it could take up to 5 seconds on SA systems to tune a SDV channel" | |

| Wow even 24 channels in an SDV environment within 30 seconds would be a godsend here. I'm lucky if I can get through 8 channels on the DVR within 30 seconds before it freezes up and stops accepting a channel change command.
Motorola DCT-6412 running I-Guide sucks. The performance is so shitty you can't even channel surf in the conventional way. You have to point and select stuff out of the guide. No linear Ch Up/Down for me. | |

I am sure people will moan about that. Hob Which 24 channels? If all/most of them were ones that were ALREADY being feed to that node, all you are actually measuring is the time that is needed to do the handshake that says "Add me to your feed list of channels you ALREADY are feeding". The only way that measurement is valid is if all (or at least most) of the requested channels are NOT currently available on the node. | |
