Re: HDTV and Kcharg/My csr experience
You do not need a digital package to get the 6208. I have standard analog cable and have had HD since December and the 6208 since early March. All I get charged is 9.95 for the 6208 on top of the standard analog cable charge. Call Comcast again... |

There does seem to be some misinformation or confusion on this topic. Direct from the Comcast website: "DVR requires subscription to Comcast Digital Cable."

| I got the 6208 installed today morning. Have to check it out in the evening. If it has some decent features, i might even sell my Tivo & Samsung HD tuner on ebay. I really need ESPN but the only digital package is $55, i wish i could cancel this Latino digital package & move to expanded basic instead. What would comcast do, if i called them and asked to be moved out of digital (21$) to expanded basic($41) ? Return the dvr ?? |

They brought mine out Saturday night.
I didn't have Tivo before, so this is my first venture with a dvr. Everything works as advertised, if you are recording, you can't watch another channel, however, you can watch something you have previously recorded while it is recording.
The TVGuide software is OK....not great. The system only has about 2 or 3 days of upcoming programs in it. You can select to record by title, but it will only repeat that timeslot, not pick up every occurance of the title.
Its a new toy, so its fun, hopefully when these are fully rolled out, they will have a more robust software interface. |

That's kind of weird because my 6208 is updated for approximately 14 days in advance. Maybe you just haven't allowed the box to update?
