I assume the 6208 uses a different guide than the 5100? If so, do you think its better? Faster? Slower?
How many days are in the guide's listings?
Does the 6208 let you record all episodes of a particular show through a single setting?
Will they let us do a self-install of the 6208 or is that another service call & charge?
Thanks for all the help over this lengthy thread. | |

Component is analog. DVI (actually DVI-D) is digital. Your monitor will actually convert the analog to digital so there is a source of error.
So using component: Digital->Analog->Digital
DVI-D: Digital->Digital
On my Philips plasma, I really can't see the difference. I will use the DVI so I can use component out of my DVD player. | |

I should get paid by the question.
1. The guide is different. Blue, Purple or Black.
2. Approx. 4 days
3. Yes and no. I can set a Mon-Fri show to record without having the guide info yet.
4. I don't honestly know, probably a truck roll.
5. Your welcome.
Not trying to be sarcastic.
