Re: 6208 DVR

KCharge,

Do you have any idea now when we will get vod?
Do you know if we will have to get the new box for vod?

I've said this approx. 2 or 3 times in this forum. We are slated to get VOD sometime this summer. You will need at least a DCT2000 model box, which in turn is capable of RF Return (For those of you who don't know what RF return is, it is the capability of the DCT talking back via cable line). Stay tuned for the 2nd or 3rd time.

Well understood. Once again we have a great amount of work to do before we can launch VOD in the Metroplex. But if changes happen you can rest assure that I will post it here.

Will the 6208 be able to RECORD one channel while watching a different channel - or are you stuck recording what the unit is set to?

The 6208 only allows you to record one channel, and watch a previously recorded show. It has only 1 tuner inside.

So as I understand you - unlike a VCR - this unit will allow you to RECORD and PLAY at the same time?

Yes, in a way it can. But it can only record a live stream while playing a previously recorded channel. It can not record and play a live channel.

I am not a 100% sure about this but I have a good idea that InHD 1 & 2 should be the next channels being released. I will email a top exec. here in just a minute about it. Then I would assume that the PBS all HD channel would be next. About two weeks ago in a big company meeting they said that 3 more HD channels would be released in the coming months. I personally cannot wait for InHD 1 & 2, since it'll be the closest we get to a HDnet type of channel.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Dicovery HD but I know that has not been rumored to be in the works.

Kcharg, I always look forward to your insight as a Comcast rep...thanks for that.

Any more word on more HD programming in DFW...mainly Frisco?

Cheers.
