|  [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090
I want to get rid of the SA 8300HD DVR for the Samsung H3090 box and was asking for WHEN they would be available, she said I can go trade it at any time.
I asked if the H3090 is available she said she doesnt know...
Can anyone tell me if the H3090 is available? If not, any word WHEN? | |

Now you have a bunch of customers calling back to find out why the date they were told has not been met.
That's why you will rarely get a date unless its set in stone.

| It's still too early to tell if it will come out. I believe both boxes are in testing. Thats what my division's president said. The Samsung SMT-H3090 runs the same software as the 8300HDC but has better specs. It can run MPEG-4 and multi room DVR. TWC might be really nice to us and order them with 320 GB HDD's. That too is worth swapping. Having an extra 160 GB helps with all the new HD content. I don't think they'll do a mass MPEG-4 rollout due to all the legacy MPEG-2 boxes. MPEG-4 does use less bandwidth than MPEG-2. | |

| I hope something new comes out soon, this SA 8300HD DVR, I have sucks. It always locking up on us. Every time we try to rent a movie, it locks up. Yes I have called tech support and they have sent out 3 techs, cannot find anything wrong, after I called again 4th tech to come out, connected some device to the line saying signal to the house was to strong. Maint. came out fixed that problem was fine for a few weeks then started again, have had 2 more techs out and say nothing wrong, they replaced our boxes as well still same problem. We no longer rent movies from TWC, because it more trouble than it worth.  Does anyone have any thoughts what else we can do? I talked to guy in our area that does side jobs that works for TWC and said something about there a loop that connects everything for our division, that was just installed last year or something along those lines and said the bandwidth was already maxed out, and they have nothing but problems with it. Not sure if that has to do with my problem or not, sorry I don't recall the details of what he was saying either. | |

| Thank you for the info. Is this the same reason, we get the message several times a day that our boxes have no access, and then number comes up on the screen? We have to then call in and they do something and boxes start working again. We always pay our bill on time, and been with TWC for 15 yrs, and really starting to get old. This been going on since the OCAP upgrade, so I just assumed it was with the box since they sent so many tech out. | |

San Diego, CA | I've heard that the 8300/8240 series DVR is in the EOL stage so TWC will have to order new boxes but it might be a while. They will have a ton of 8300/8240 boxes so they will want to clear up the inventory before deploying the Samsung DVR. | |

| Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 Are you running Navigator or SARA. The 8300HDC's aren't as good with Navigator since they are using an OCAP version. The 8300HDC isn't really meant for OCAP. It could be the signal. Then again TWC San Diego always puts the latest version of Navigator on to their boxes. | |

No we do have the same issues as others, we don't get "special boxes" or have perfect coax coming into our residences. Boxes do go wrong but as I said before the symptoms that the OP is describing sound like a signal issue not a box issue.
What is your diagnosis?

I had the 8300HD, then went with the 8300HDC (no reason, just I wanted the upgrade), and I never experienced problems with the box. When I decided to downgrade my DVR and get an additional digital box for my house, the 2 4250HDC's that I have don't have problems either. I did have an SDV related issue when they rolled it out, but it was on their end, and was fixed in a day or two. Definitely signal issues, not box issues. Especially if you have to keep returning your box and seem to be getting the same problem.

| Personally I hope TW sticks with Scientific Atlanta hardware. The upcoming Cisco 8500HD DVR series look promising. And now that Cisco owns SA, I see a bright future in terms of networking DVRs.
I have never had any issues with the SA 8300, 8300HD or 8300HDC. Hell of a lot more reliable then the POS DVRs (basically glorified VCRs) I had with Dish Network, and every bit as reliable and rock solid as the DirecTiVos I had with DirecTV, and the picture doesn't go black and white every time I change the channel.

| Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 Actually I don't think so. Our division (TWC San Diego) is already testing Samsung boxes. The OCAP software will run much better on the SMT-H3090 than the HDC boxes due to the advanced architecture. Cisco has an even better DVR the 8600 series. That one rivals the Samsung in performance. Samsung does have more memory and CPU which is nice. The SMT-H3090 does offer networked DVR if TWC orders it. TWC is a member of MoCA and Samsung is their OCAP development partner. TWC has been deploying Samsung SMT-H3050 boxes which are run of the mill HD non DVR's.
It also depends on the Software. There are areas like NY which are still on SARA software. Navigator has been deployed in Passport areas like San Diego. SARA areas have yet to see Navigator. SARA does pretty much what Navigator does so why change over to Navigator. TWC developed Navigator in house though it's been a rough road. San Diego has the latest version of both ODN and MDN. MDN is the non OCrAP version for non HDC boxes. Passport divisions even got Pioneer, and Pace boxes. The new versions of Navigator are much better and have improved. I hope TWC continues to make Navigator just as good, if not better than Passport which was one of the best Digital Cable guides ever created imo. | |

| Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 The Pioneer boxes do suck though. Mainly 'cause their so old. The only good part was Passport. Then again I had a Pioneer BD-V1100 which was our first digital cable box. Running Navigator TWC's in house software was terrible. We then got an 8300HDC and I got the 3250HD. The 3250HD was our first HD box. We got it when we bought our 40" Samsung HDTV. The Pioneer HD box which I never got was even worse. It would stretch all 4:3 480i content. Even the Passport guide was stretched.
Not all TWC divisions use SARA. There are those ex Passport divisions that are now running Navigator. There are still some TWC areas still running Passport but they are using outdated versions. No idea when those will go Navigator. NYC has deployed the OCAP/tru2way version of Navigator but not the MDN version which works on the non HDC/Samsung boxes. | |

| Just heard that the Samsung SMT-H3090 will have a 320 GB HDD  . Now you can record more HD. Up to 40 hours of HD. SD viewers will appreciate up to 180 hours of SD. These babys have MPEG-4 and all the good network DVR features. They only have a digital tuner so your division will need to have Digital simulcasting enabled for the analog station. Most TWC divisions have digital simulcasting. Looks like TWC is going to Samsung and no more Cisco. TWC has used Pioneer equipment so it's ok not to choose Cisco. The Pioneer equipment were also SA compatible. The Passport software that they used to make also worked on SA boxes. | |

| The Samsung can also be ordered with an analog/digital tuner like the 8300HDC. However, you can only get it with a 160GB HDD in that config. If you want a 320 GB HDD you can only get it with a digital tuner. The digital tuner would be equivalent the 8240HDC. The 8240HDC is the same old 8300HDC but without the analog tuner. Our division has deployed them as well. Still waiting for the SMT-H3090 to come to our division. Then it will be much better since it's made to work with OCAP not a hack job like the 8300/8240HDC's. | |

| So it looks like the HDC's use Sparc CPU's which can support JAVA. If TWC optimizes ODN a bit more it might be usable. Still the Samsungs are more powerful simply because they have better specs. More RAM and a better CPU spec wise will make them run OC(r)AP much better. Hopefully TWC will order the all digital 320 GB version since there is a lot of good HD programming out there. 20 hours of HD is ok but it's nice to have more. 40 hours of HD is good but storage is king. The more storage space a DVR has the better. | |

| This summer is when TWC NYC will deploy the SMT-H3090. Hope they order the 320 GB all digital version. Maybe our division will launch them. I really don't want to bother the president of our division on this issue. The only box that can rival this one is the Cisco 86xx series. That box is nice but the Samsung has a sexier look :P. Besides TWC has a development contract from them. I even have a Presentation that showed a SMT-H3090 prototype. The specs were much worst but they've improved a lot of course. The prototype isn't as good looking. I bet a lot of people will want the Samsung HD-DVR. Even SD only users will want it just for more SD recording space. There are SD users who use the HD DVR just because of more recording space. Then again our division only has HD-DVR's which is nice. | |

| Looks like TWC is going to order the Samsung with the 320 GB HDD. Their website says up to 35 hours of HD so that means they've ordered the all digital 320 GB version. I hope TWC's OCAP software gets better. It's getting there but it has it's issues. The 35 hours of HD is at 19 MBps when you factor in the trick play buffering. This DVR should come out this summer in NYC markets but others might launch it in the second half of this year. | |

TWC might go motorola. TWC is going to deploy a multiroom DVR but you'll need to have a MoCA equipped HD-DVR and moca STB's. That means you must swap all your boxes to HD boxes that have MoCA. I think TWC will order the DCX3432 with MoCA. The 32 in 3432 refers to the HDD size. That means it will have a 320 GB HDD. The Samsung HD-DVR also supports MoCA as an option. However TWC would have to use Motorola non DVR since Samsung doesn't have a MoCA enabled HD-STB yet.
All you Cisco fanboys won't be getting that 8500 series or the 8600 series. The 8600 is the only Cisco DVR that can rival the Samsung DVR in spec sheets. The only disadvantage of the Samsung is that it has an 860 MHz tuner. The Motorola DCX and the new Cisco boxes support 1 GHz. The DCX has no analog tuners so thats nice. Don't expect TWC to deploy the DCX any time soon. The Samsung might deploy in some markets later this year. The DCX might be deployed this year if a division is testing them. | |

However TWC will equip it with MoCA and a 320 GB HDD. The 320 GB version has all digital tuners. Samsung even had a model called the SMT-H3092 which was a SMT-H3090 with MoCA. Now it's just the SMT-H3090 and it would be a nice upgrade from an 8300HDC running OCAP. | |

| If you live in the Charlotte, NC area or Kansas City, MO you can now get this HD-DVR. It has a 320 GB HDD, MoCA, and an ethernet port. eSATA may or may not work if you are using one on a 8300/8240 box. It does have Firewire, and all the other inputs but no RF modulator. The front says Home network. The guide is 16:9 but it's just regular 4:3 ODN stretched to 16:9. It's nice if you want a guide that fills the whole screen. The Home networking features aren't enabled but a future ODN update will fix that. Hope this helps. | |

| Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 Boxes have rolled out to Charlotte, just got it last weekend. Only has the 160gb drive. I HIGHLY doubt TWC will be spending the money for the 320's even with the analog/digital/HD multicasts. Only 1 complaint about the box, apparently the newest software that was loaded to the box does not support eSATA. Picks up the 1TB drive I have hooked up, but once the onboard drive is full the DVR locks up including the live buffer and even shows 11% full in the program list. I guess this is TWC's definition of '6 of one, half dozen of the other.' | |

| The 3090 will be deployed eventually. Some divisions like San Diego are getting the 3270 HD-DVR. San Diego also is getting the 3260 HD-STB which I have. It's said to be identical to the 3270. Even running the same software as the 3270. The 3260 is black and is very sleek looking albeit bigger than the 4250HDC. It's a light box. I hope to get a 3270 soon. Maybe KC will not deploy the 3090 and deploy the 3270 though thats unlikely since the 32xx boxes have some bugs that need to be ironed out.

| Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 The bugs in the 3270 seem to be minor but could be troublesome. There will be a new version of ODN that will fix them. The 3260 seems to be fine but it too has some bugs. The new version of ODN might include some new features like Keyword Search, Expanded program listings and being able to program your DVR over the internet. The 3270 though isn't up to TWC standards yet but it will soon. I expect San Diego to get it late summer to early fall. I suspect September is a more likely date.

| Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 Thats not my decision. Ask Visuelz about it. In the San Diego HDTV forum an employee said the Samsung box had bugs. Also the HDC boxes are POS'. If you get a good one they are fine. There is a reason why they are so bad. When Cisco bought out Scientific Atlanta the QC went down hill. They make them so quickly that they don't have time to test them. TWC would get a ton of them with issues. Lots of people would return them.
TWC is also testing Motorola DVR's as well. TWC San Diego/Desert Cities is also testing the Motorola DCX. Infact TWC NYC could get Motorola boxes instead of Samsung. The SMT-H3090 doesn't support MoCA but it does have hidden Home Networking features via ethernet. The SMT-H3090 can support MoCA if TWC orders them with it. | |

| I have an 8240hdc - I was just wondering if you guys know what version of HDMI it supports ?? I'm guessing it's not hdmi 1.3 but I can't find any answers online.
also are there any superior hd boxes from TWC at the moment ? I live in Northeast Ohio area. | |

| Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 Probably 1.0 or 1.1. Yes there are better boxes from Samsung but they all run the same software as the 8240HDC. The 8240HDC and 8300HDC are both the same thing. Just that the 8240HDC lacks the analog tuner which isn't really needed anymore since TWC is using digital simulcasts of the analog channel. The Samsung 3260 and 3270 boxes are close to being released sometime soon in San Diego but other divisions will have to wait for them. They will also need to test them so that it will be good enough for consumers. TWC might even use Moto boxes in NEO. So it could be either Samsung or Motorola depending on the headend and the management. | |
