Hi all!
To those of you who have followed my recent trials & tribulations with my Comcast provided (read: "rented at $18/month!") defective Scientific Atlanta HD8300 HD DVR - I finally got around to switching it out with them for a new(ish) Cisco RNG200N HD DVR.
The old SA 8300 needed to be re-booted every few days to force it to put out a good HD picture. It would develop extra horizontal lines (most noticeable around letter & number graphics), and generally put out a sharp enough picture, but re-booting the thing was a good temporary fix. The old SA 8300 DVR put out TONS of heat too (just like an Onkyo AVR!
).
Anyway, this one is black (good!), and puts out far less heat that I can tell (good x 2!), but refuses to display the time...I miss the time display. Otherwise it works well, but time will tell, as the old SA unit "worked well" between re-bootings!
Anyone have any practical experience with the Cisco DVR?
