It's newer and better than the 3090. It has a very similar architecture though. A TWC employee said they went with Samsung since he says SA is really going downhill in QC. When Cisco tookover SA is when the quality when downhill. They built them in Mexico as cheaply as they could with little QC though my 8300HDC seems to be solid even with ODN. The 8300HDC's with SARA seem to be better than the 8300HDC's running ODN. However, TWC will ditch SARA for ODN starting sometime this year.

I still think it will come out later this year. Like I said the 320 GB 3090's are a rare breed. Charlotte, NC deployed a few of them then switched to the 160 GB version. For some reason the management wanted to save a few bucks and ordered the 160 GB version. Except our division has good management that realizes that 160 GB is just not enough. I've lived with a 160 GB 8300HDC running ODN but would appreciate the extra storage of the 3270.

I'm in NYC and just got the SMT-H3090 (160GB) through Time Warner Cable. After recording 7 movies and a couple of half hour shows, the hard drive was already 90% full. I connected the WD 1TB Expander (eSATA) and followed the installation instructions. First reboot did not seem to take. So I unplugged everything and started again. I then followed the onscreen intructions and waited for everything to finish (NOTE: The 3090 reboots twice during reformat/installation). The entire procedure took about half an hour. The DVR turned itself off when reformatting was complete. I turned the box back on and noted that the hard drive was now 10% full.

Word of advice: Do not turn off the DVR during the installation procedure, even if you think nothing is happening. Just follow the instructions (both printed and onscreen) and you'll be fine.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22659102 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:49:58 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22652045 anon : So I just picked up the 3090 here in Brooklyn. What I hated about the SA HD DVR was TWC disabled the ability to output to BOTH HDMI and Component. Does anyone know if the 3090 can output to both? Ideally I'd like HDMI to my tv and the component to my Slingbox.

With the SA models, I could only get content from my Slingbox if I left the unit on, as turning it on via slingbox would disable the component (go figure).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22652045 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 22:28:48 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22645909 rv65 : 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.

A roll out of new equipment means this may happen.

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.
So I called the CS number for Kansas City, and the lady I spoke to said that the 3090 is still being tested here, and the newest box they have is the 8300HDC.

why don't you go to the queens office or call for a truck roll with one.

Just call the Queens office and see if they have them before you go. Very simple to do and will save you time.

All the sudden she said that she couldn't give me the box, her only explanation was That I live in Queens and those boxes were only for Manhattan...what?!?!?
I felt a little frustrated that I tried to get an explanation , but the only reason I got was "IT's because I live in Queens", and that I should go to a TWC center in Queens. And then she went back to keep talking to her friends,and she ignored me.

My question is, Why does TWC have these people working in its Customer Service department when they don't have any manners, don't have any information about TWC's products, and don't care about customers??

any questions about it, feel free to email or post and i'll see what i can find out for you..

The 3270 is newer than the 3090 but we all know that. A bit of marketing fluff and still buggy. Both Samsung boxes have bugs that need to be fixed but I'm sure the future ODN updates will fix it.

Hopefully TWC can ditch the stable but fugly SARA guide and replace it with a stable version of Navigator.

I still hear that TWC San Diego and other divisions are going to use the 32xx boxes. The Samsung DVR has it's flaws. It has a tendency to miss shows for some reason. I guess this is something they can fix in the next version of ODN. Would be nice to see a full 16:9 HD guide since it's just the 4:3 SA/Cisco guide stretched to 16:9.

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.

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.

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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22162206 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 00:42:21 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22130834 rv65 : 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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22130834 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 05:02:22 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22118048 rv65 : 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.

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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22043854 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:38:22 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22038299 rv65 : 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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22038299 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 04:05:14 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22033748 rv65 : Yes it does have Firewire.

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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22029764 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 03:29:53 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22015253 rv65 : 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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22015253 Wed, 04 Mar 2009 18:27:43 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22005374 rv65 : 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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22005374 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 02:25:13 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22004933 HyView13 :

I second that. I have never had any problems here with my boxes either. 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.

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.

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21921237 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 16:27:56 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21915514 rv65 : 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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21915514 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 10:08:36 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21915308 ds5v50 : I spoke to a line worker disconnecting a neighbor, he said NW Ohio is going to be using the SA8300HDC's for a whle. He said that in our area there is no plans on upgrading the units, just the software.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21915308 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 08:54:27 EDT Re: [TWC] Roll out date for the Samsung H3090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21915148 hobgoblin : Thanks for your contribution.

that is clueless techsupport for you
The call centers are one of the last groups to be told dates. If you tell a call center agent a date he tells customers. dates have a tendency to change often and I mean often.

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.

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?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21905548 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 12:31:48 EDT
