Re: Won't Fly
said by yock  :said by xirian :said by yock :Of course, if they still stick me with the bulk of a set-top box I won't be happy. I realize some sort of module will be needed, but please make it small. How do you expect to be able to use the dvr service without the cable box? Does your tv do video on demand / interactive tv over cable by itself? I don't think you read the second part of the statement you quoted. nope sorry didnt, but still, what else besides a cable box do you think they would give you? Its most likely just an on demand channel. that is the point, to not need to give out new boxes, instead use the same digital ones. |

well, the recorded Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow on my DVR begs to differ. |

You can't record VOD with the COX DVR. Maybe with Tivo, but not with the cox DVR. |

It would be akin to duplicating rental movies. Need you be reminded that isn't legal? |

said by inteller :um, I record VOD with Cox. Your TW stuff must really suck. It doesn't "suck" they just disable the record function for premium VOD. As I said before, it doesn't really bug me.

Ack...sorry I misread your other post. You mean you can't record VOD on the TWC box. |

said by RadioDoc :said by yock :I'm hip to this idea. You already can't record VOD Hmmm...I record VOD all the time, but not with Comcast's DVR. TiVo and a programmable remote with macro capability makes it a one-button affair.  Then burn to DVD on the same box. Life is good. Yeah, I'm poor =) I use TWC's DVR because I don't have the cash for a Tivo.

I'm hip to this idea. You already can't record VOD, but that's okay with me. Anything that reduces the number of devices in my living room is a good thing.
Of course, if they still stick me with the bulk of a set-top box I won't be happy. I realize some sort of module will be needed, but please make it small.
