dritchie join:2001-05-07 Euclid, OH	dritchie Member 2015-Mar-31 11:44 am This thread has morphed into a discussion that is WAY over my head. Someone on the west coast said something about a 6 tuner DVR being available for $3.00 more a month, I think this would solve all of my problems, I called my local Rep, who said, "this is not available in the "mid west"" ( Ohio) I am thinking my options are: wait until I can get one, but a TIVO ( more money) or learn to live with what I have. Maybe once I learn what I can do with the "smart" TV it will be easier. The Rep also said I could watch "on demand", but I can't seem to find the things I want to watch "on demand", and can't fast forward. Thanks for the advice I don't understand Don

Surprised they still issue those antiques. The nice thing about that DVR is you could put external storage on it all day long.. So long as it wasn't the HDC model.

nony Premium Member join:2012-11-17 New York, NY 4 edits	nony to dritchie Premium Member 2015-Apr-1 5:08 am to dritchie What makes the HDC model not friendly to external storage? When they rolled out that model they decided that a sub shouldn't be allowed to plug in an external drive. But all of that will be changing... Because we all have have options! Hob may have access to the roll-out schedule for your neck of the woods, but may not be at liberty to share it all. Still, his advice continues to be golden. (plz delete any of my remarks that may be misconstrued as complimentary.) -nony

nony 4 edits	nony Premium Member 2015-Apr-10 9:15 pm Update on the DCX3600- The provisioning allows us to stream unprotected content to any uPNP client. Specifically, With the latest builds of VLC you can view the directory of all your recorded DVR content, and stream all unprotected content to any of your connected device(s) Because its always good to be connected, although being made is even better --- Three-Step Howto: (for a win7 64bit machine) 1) Connect your DCX3600 to your home router 2) Download one of the supported* versions of VLC (from the nightly builds)- vlc-3.0.0-git-20150308-0402-win64 vlc-3.0.0-git-20150301-0402-win64 vlc-3.0.0-git-20150224-1301-win64 vlc-3.0.0-git-20150126-0402-win64 *Although the VLC uPNP functionality has been broken on win32/win64 for some time, the above builds appear to work ok (in my limited testing) 3) Click on View-->Playlist-->Universal Plug'n Play and you should be good to go. -nony

ke4pym Premium Member join:2004-07-24 Charlotte, NC	ke4pym Premium Member 2015-Apr-13 4:26 pm The one they have is crazy slow to change channels. Like 5-7 seconds per change. The guide is very slow as well. I don't have any other cable boxes to compare it to. I'm used to the DirecTV STB's. More often than not, it won't turn the TV and DVR on at the same time when you hit the system power button. You've got to go back and turn one or the other on when it messes up. Never mind the volume button issues.

Never mind the volume button issues. With regard to your remote System Power Button: 1.) Have you tried new fresh batteries or a different remote model? 2.) If you have the Clicker Backlight remote you need a straight line of site pointing slightly down from the clock on the box to use the System Button. The older Synergy's had a better zoom range and where less "touchy." Make sure nothing is in that line of sight. Aim for the center of the clock and slightly downward. Satch

ke4pym Premium Member join:2004-07-24 Charlotte, NC	ke4pym to dritchie Premium Member 2015-Apr-13 6:59 pm to dritchie Super simple setup here, guys. Incandescent lighting, and a basic-run-of-the-mill Samsung TV. Everything is in the line of sight. The DVR responds quickly to the remote commands. It just takes forever for it to do something after it has gotten the command.

ernliz join:2001-11-25 Albemarle, NC	ernliz to hobgoblin Member 2015-Apr-14 11:10 am to hobgoblin I have one of those enhanced DVRs and the 6-tuner capability is fine. However.... the unit is SLOW. Even when not recording, there is an unacceptable amount of lag when scrolling channels in the Guide. The unit locks up at times (and forever refuses to play) when attempting to play back recorded programs (which eventually have to be deleted using the Program Manager). Most of the lag is caused by the small preview windows shown when selecting channels in the Guide and elsewhere. Bottom line: although the many frivolous and blingy features are "nice" they slow the unit down way too much.

Bottom line: although the many frivolous and blingy features are "nice" they slow the unit down way too much. Perhaps the simpler guide on the old MDN SA-8300 boxes (non-C) was fastest. What I found out was that in Nebraska, they have not converted the boxes to the more advanced search/VOD menus yet. The newer boxes run the old guide still on the SA boxes . However, the menus on the newer boxes are in HD and the system just flies. Satch

nony Premium Member join:2012-11-17 New York, NY	nony to PamelaTS Premium Member 2015-Apr-30 10:49 am to PamelaTS Re: [TV] DVR questions ?? said by PamelaTS: TiVo also gives you access to YouTube, Netflix, Hulu Plus, AmazonPrime and Vudu (those UltraBlue digital copies that come with some BluRay movie's. It also provides access to podcast and a host of other free streaming movie, news and other content. The Plus and Pro also have a built in TiVo Stream allowing you to stream recorded programs to your mobile devices in and out of home with limitations. Protected content can only stream on your home network, if you have an iOS device you can download that content deleting the DVR copy. Lastly the TiVo is yours to keep upto 3TB storage simply by replacing the drive. Works with all digital cable providers. Don't lose your content when you move again. PamelaTS, this looks like a great solution. -nony

Suit Up join:2003-07-21 Los Angeles, CA Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X TP-Link Archer C7 4 edits	Suit Up Member 2015-May-1 12:04 am said by hobgoblin: I like my slingbox and so does my son in England The advantage of this is that it won't require a digital to analog to digital conversion process and won't require having the output of a cable box dedicated to it. So if you have one DVR with multiple tuners, you can watch something on the TV it's plugged in to and use this device to stream something else at the same time (whether live or recorded) to a slingplayer. The question is, what would TWC need to do to support this? It looks like you can buy one from cableproductsdirect.com (though not sure how reputable that place is, they don't seem to have a phone number or address listed which is usually a red flag). And the documentation says all you gotta do is connect it to the ethernet along with your DVR. Is there more to it than that when the DCX3600 already works over DLNA? Or does it need more than just DLNA to access the DVR?
