mystro is a freakin nightmare.

whoever made the call to switch to this at a management level is a raging, howl at the moon, incompetent IDIOT.

I can only assume that the developer is a crack head, the decision maker is on the take and that they made a list of all the things they could do to enrage their subscribers, make a lousy service worse.

Then they proceeded to check off the items as they worked through their list of stupid cable tricks.

This is an UPGRADE????

What options do we have for alternative services in Pinellas county?

We moved here 10 years ago and have always been dissatisfied with TWC / Brighthouse.

We have 4 cable boxes and they are close to going into the bay....

It took us two years to get our systems running right and they go and do this??

No debugging, no advance notice and no ability to opt out??

It is pure, unadulterated garbnage.

We reboot each box at least 2 times per day!!!

God forbid you want to surf the channels..

you are screwed and some TWC executive got paid off to buy this garbage.

i am looking fopr a different cable service]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23612588 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:46:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23428016
Next you plug the E-SATA cable into the back of your DVR on one side, do not power on the DVR Expander Yet, then plug the the other end of the cable into the DVR Expander, now connect the power cable to a power outlet, the green LED Light on the power Brick should be glowing, plug the cable from the power brick into the back of you DVR Expander, then on your tv screen you'll see a prompt that state's you need to Format your DVR Expander hit the ok button on your remote it takes a few minutes to Format your DVR Expander, your set top box will restart when that's done hit the list button on your remote, if the DVR is at 90 percent full depending on the size of your DVR Expander, For Example my DVR Expander is 500GB the 160GB internal HDD was full at 100 percent in the DVR recording's LIST with the DVR Expander installed my storage capacity went from 100 percent full to 31 percent full.

Well that concludes today's Lesson on Installing an External E-SATA Drive for the Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HDC for Dummies. Hope it was informative, this is Bigdaddy.

The manual for "My DVR Expander" has esoteric instructions like these, and they worked for me before the Mystro update.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23427262 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:46:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23418891 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23418891 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 08:35:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23418367

There are some odd effects of power up/down and plugs in/out with the 8300HDC. I even suspect that the SA DVR has knowlege of whether or not something is plugged in the socket, independent of any power or signal hand-shaking.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23383780 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:07:25 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23379030 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23379030 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:16:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23378262
Are people having problems with pause and replay? We can't pause live shows nor can we go backwards to replay what we just watched or missed. We also can't change the screen resolution. When we go in to the "Settings" menu ---> "Output Resolution" it has several settings (Auto select, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i). When we try to change the setting to any of the options and click "save / return" it always goes back to "480p"? Anyone able to change output resolution?

BTW - does anyone know where the manual or user guides is for Mystro?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23378262 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:42:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23375798

I called tech support and they said external SATA no workie by design. I vented on the bright house web site and within 24 hours, Customer support wrote me back saying to unplug the hard drive, reboot the box, plug it back in and it would work. I fully expected to have this not work, but to my surprise, it did. Lost all my previous recordings, but hey, at least it's working.

External SATA on Bright House 8300HDC running Mystro verified as working.

Thank you Bright House!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23375427 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:02:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23359084 --

I also didn't lose any settings on the one that was updated. But I didn't have a favorites set up.

I wouldn't mind being a "beta tester" if were given some means of direct-to-developer feed-back. But I have none.

If I did, one of the first things I would report is that in LIST displays the PAGE key moves things in the OPPOSITE direction than the UP/DOWN keys in any context involving date! And if after a month's vacation I try to catch up with Saturday Night Live, every item in the list is labeled just SAT!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23302439 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:06:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23198417 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23198417 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 09:45:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Mystro-in-Tampa-Bay-23183749
