The last test results I saw was this

In a 30 second period the tester was able to tune to 25 channels in a non SDV enviroment

In a 30 second period the tester was able to tune to 24 Channels in an SDV Enviroment.

I am sure people will moan about that.

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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20739576 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:51:58 EDT Re: tuning times? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20738795 cypherstream : Here's a video of the channel up button lagging horribly on my DVR.

For Motorola power off and quickly push OK/Select. Check if there are any SDV code modules or special diagnostics that would lead you to think SDV is installed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20737029 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:23:06 EDT Re: tuning times? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20737013 cypherstream : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20737013 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:21:30 EDT Re: tuning times? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20736958 Corydon : I'm in Denver, and I honestly have no clue whether I'm part of this trial or not. I suspect that I am.

Actually, that brings up a point...anyone know how to find out if you are part of an SDV trial or not? Would they tell you if the end result is supposed to be invisible?

I've noticed zero change in how my TV performs.
