Sorry to butt in. I just need to understand this.
said by RolteC:removing the Actiontec will disable your boxes from receiving program guide information, caller ID information, video on demand, widgets, etc.
Why do I need the Actiontec for the guide, VOD, etc.? In my installation, the coax from the ONT is split 3 ways. 2 of them go to two Cisco DVRs and one goes to the Actiontec. I can unplug or turn off the Actiontec and it wont affect the TV functions. Am I missing something here?
