I got a dvr from Comcast. It's great I don't have to watch commercials anymore and I never miss a program because its programmed to record my favorite programs.

The model is Motorola dch3416. I had a problem with it which caused me to return the first one I got. BTW You can pick them up from the local Comcast office. We have one here in Exeter on Epping road. It looks like my bill went up from 137 to 151. Seems higher than they quoted me. Anyways back to the problem. The remote would work intermittently and I couldn't figure out why so as I was preparing for the second unit to be sent back and I decided I should bring a small tv with me to check out the units at the Comcast office. So I hooked it up and it worked. Weird. So I put it back where it is permanently on the bookshelf. After playing around for a while I found that the remote sensor was "seeing" the plasma tv mounted above the fireplace. So I put a sticky note on the dvr so the line of site from the tv to the dvr was blocked. Now it works fine. I guess the plasma tv is giving off IR pulses that confuse the dvr. The tv and dvr are at right angles to each other. The plasma is over the fireplace and the dvr is on the side in a built in bookshelf.
