Mike Wolf posted : That depends on the severity of the problem. If it's an easy fix like a failed hard drive or failed cablecard, the repair department will fix it and put back into circulation.

Standard Warranty Ends: December 31, 2015
End of Service Life (EOSL): December 31, 2016

Thats what comcast really cares about. Im sure MotoMob and comcast had clear transition path to the new model well before this announcement, but as long as comcast can still get warranty service, they will continue to lease them out.

oh and thanks for the heads up. Ill try and score a newer box now anyway. Still havent replaced this bad one yet lol.

ki1o posted : Maybe there is a problem with your remote. You can reset your remote to the factory default settings by following these steps found on this webpage »en.wikibooks.org/wiki/How_to_use···e_Remote

This reset will delete all macros and keymoves and reset device codes to defaults.
1.Press and hold the "Setup" key until a device key blinks twice.
2.Type in the code 981.
3.If successful, a device key will blink FOUR times.

If that doesn't work, call Comcast and ask for a "Full Reset." When Comcast does that, your box will turn off as it resets.

Moved over the weekend and had a tech install a DCX3400 today. He left while still on hold to activate the box, and probably got DC'ed in the elevator b/c i had to call comcast later and have them activate it for me.

However im still having an issue. any time the STB gets input from the remote, the cable picture and audio skips. happens when doing anything in guide at all: scrolling channels, Info, Last, left/right/up/down, enter, etc. It's probably about a half second skip, but happens with every button press. never seen anything like it before.

I would try unplugging it for a minute or two. If it still does it you can format and reset the box completely. Finally if that doesn't work then the box is simply bad. Let us know what happens.
