Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.replaytv,alt.video.ptv.tivo (More info?) I have read that it is possible to transfer the files from the Motorola DVR box that Comcast provides to a PC. The catch is that the Ethernet port is disabled, so the only way is using the firewire port. My DVR box...

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.replaytv (More info?) AT&T Callvanatge allows for dialup connections. It works. "Steve Weavers" <steve400@rcn.removetoreply.com> wrote in message news:cNydnQXkJ477DETfRVn-rQ@rcn.net... >I have a replayTV 5160 which connects via the internet and an older...

Archived from groups: alt.video.laserdisc (More info?) There is not a loud squeal when trying to play the disc. The player does make what I would call a "Normal" sound that I've thought of as the laser pickup getting into position, but that's a pretty low level sound... The Table of Contents...

Archived from groups: alt.video.laserdisc (More info?) I've been having a problem with my Pioneer CLD-D704 and wondered if anyone on the group might have some advice for me? The problem: When inserting a 12" laser and pressing play, the disc will start to spin up to speed. Just as it gets to...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) It all depends on the show. If it is a show broadcast in HDTV or not. I expect that some shows appear 16:9, is that correct? On 5 May 2005 10:53:44 -0700, "xyz_rahul" <xyz_rahul@hotmail.com> wrote: >Hi Randy, > >I just got a new HDTV box...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) I am looking to buy my first HDTV and am considering the JVC 70". I am willing to spend up to $5000, is this a good choice for the money or should I be looking at something else? -RP

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) When will Comcast get the guide right? I am pretty upset over how wrong the guide is, here in the San Francisco bay area. I have the new HDTV/DVR box and am very pleased with it most of the time. But what good is the DVR if you program it to...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Sounds like a matter of not reading the instruction manuals. In our area the Comcast technician is required to install the cable box, and my HDTV/DVR capable box came with the proper component cables. I do not believe that it came with the...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) I have the same observation. I have actually gotten in arguments with people who "swear" they are watching HDTV, because their TV says HDTV on the front of it, and on the broadcast, it also says "broadcast in HDTV where available". They do not...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Of course HD is spectacular, and the DVR is a great feature. I love that it can record the HD programs. And the "guide" for this box is much much better than the previous HD box. But from what I have been gathering there are 2 different...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) You guys rock. Thanks for the tips on the remote programming. I just posted a question, about this Motorola DVR box. I am wondering if it's possible to access the hard drive using the Ethernet port. I am thinking maybe I could view these files...
