I don't recall seeing an eSATA port on my Cox DVR. I know it has USB but not eSATA. That link says the device is only for SA DVRs.

My Cox 3416 (and my older 6416 Series III) both have a eSATA port. I don't think my series II 6412 did though, USB only. But all of these are Motorola. The hard drive noted above only listed Scientific Atlanta boxes as being supported. So I don't think the eSATA port is enabled on these Motorola boxes yet. Hopefully soon.

I guess I may have to exchange my older 6412 for one of the newer boxes then.

Looks like there is only support for SA boxes, not Motorola.

I'v got a 6416 series 3, and I've noticed it seems to be rebooting fairly often. I notice it because it's on channel one when I turn it on, instead of the last channel. Once or twice it's rebooted in the middle of watching a program. I was going between recorded and live, and it just shut down and rebooted. Anyone else having this problem?

I have two. One I leave ON all the time, the other I switch on and off. Both are set to remember last channel on power-up.
The one I turn On and Off, nearly everyday I turn it on for the first time it is on channel 1 which bugs the heck out of me.
I don't have any issues with the one I leave on all the time.

I'll have to try leaving it on, then. Being on channel 1 on startup isn't too big an issue, but the reboot in the middle of a show I'm recording is a drag.

What the tempature of the dvr? If your area has the 3416's it might be a good time to try run of thoose.

ajwees41

I haven't checked temps, I'll do that when I get a chance. It's a 3416 series 3 box.
On another subject, anyone know when Cox is getting more HD content?

Anyone know the diff between a 3416 I and III?

I just traded in my 6412's for two 3416's and got the series I. I did this because I heard the SD channels are supposed to look better, but they don't look much better than what I had. The box is however quieter.

Do I need to go back and get the Series III?

Thanks,
Tom

The 3416 is Series 1 not series 3

ajwees41

Keep the 3416. It's the all digital box so it runs cooler which means the fans aren't working as hard & is quieter. That's the DCT-3416 I'm assuming. It looks almost exactly the same as the 6416. The DCH-3416's should be coming out soon.

According to Cox Omaha they can still use the DCT

6416-3416 for awhile, so you will most likely get whatever they have in stock.


ajwees41

Ok, so then I have the latest 3416 then?...

cox has no solution to this...just upgraded to the dig cable in omaha. plugged the box in and get the guide but no channels. rebooted, refreshed, got a replacement box and still no dice. any suggestions?


What model of box did you get? a HD HD/DVR, or rgular box? did you call and have a signal sent to the box after it was hooked up? It could be a signal problem.

Like I said before I have never seen this happen on our boxes.

ajwees41

I've never seen this either. Do your analog channels come in ok without the box & do you have this issue on any other sets?

6414 v3. Cox did send a signal, and I've done the hard reboot off the front of the box. It worked for about 10 seconds initially during the setup. But now it can't get past 7 blue bars on the Passport screen. I have a signal booster in the basement, and I've tried with and without that...I may have to try out the dish since I don't know how much they'll charge me to come out.

I have two Cox (CT) 6416III boxes that received software upgrades last month to ver 16.38 (in code section of backdoor menu, is this the correct #?).

Anyhow, BOTH boxes are freezing at times on the HD feeds for a split second randomly, both video and audio (I don't watch enough SD to know if it happens there).
Jumping back and Replaying the clip that froze results in NO PROBLEM (freeze free), so it is NOT a recorded signal issue.
I've rebooted both boxes and they are no where near full disk capacity.
Has anyone else experienced this recently? Prior to the upgrades, I never had this issue.

It's either a bad box, or a signal problem. They now have all digital boxes.

power off the box and quickly press select to bring the diagnostic menus and post the OOB and INband levels are please.

Are you sure it's 16.38? Omaha is on 16.36.

Are you sure it's 16.38? Omaha is on 16.36.

ajwees41

Positive, I checked twice! (Cox Connecticut)

The biggest changes I noticed in 16.38 were that the Advanced settings menus were completely redone and when you choose to erase a recording, you now get a "do you really want to erase it?" sort of prompt. Also, hitting "info" on the title of a recorded program in the "saved show" screen now gives me program information (it used to do nothing). Oh, and mine studders now :D

You can't view the analog channels on a 3416 since it doesn't have an analog tuner.

ajwees41

That's without the box, same outlet.

With Cox OC they multicast channels 2-67 on both analog and on totally separate digital channels so when they issue you a 3416 instead of a 6416 you receive a digital transmission of the analog channels and can still select an analog channel number and you get it sent to you in digita instead.

In OC if you have a 6416 you also get the digital versions of the channels instead of the analog. That's also true if you use cable cards. So there really is no advantage using 3416 other than for Cox those boxes are a little cheaper than the 6416 because of missing NTSC tuners and more importantly (more expensive) mpeg encoders. I don't know if the 3416 is better at decoding SD digital than the 6416 - the 6416 was awful at that from my experience and the Tivo S3 blows it away in that regard.

I know I have a 3416 in Omaha and have the digital vesion of the analog, so there must be an account or signal, or box issue.

moyekj yes it runs better than the 6416 also it run cooler since there is no analog tuner.

I'm on a different provider (Metrocast) but just received the update for Echo Passport 2.7 on my 6412.

Ever since that I've seen noticable hiccups on playback of recorded shows -- audio will drop and the picture stutters, like a skipped CD.

Love the new group feature though -- now you can group delete and group play multiple episodes. That is very nice. Would rather have skip free program playback though than that :).

Noticed two things:
1. The free space available is awfully low on mine. I have a 120 GB drive and very little recorded at this point but it says I only have 19 hours of recording space available. I've tried doing a soft reboot and a hard reboot...but maybe I'll have to do a full format to get this fixed? (Feel free to give me suggestions)

2. On some channels when I hit the program guide (ie guide on remote) there is a little blue and white star next to the channel. Does anyone know WTF this star means? The cable tech said it was if it's an HD show but since I don't get Nick in HD or Military Channel, I don't think that's the case. I thought it might be an E/I flag, but the star was on Friday Night Lights on FX as well. It's not becuase it's a movie. Anyone know what it is?

How much HD do you have recorded? I heard that HD takes up 6 times the amount of space as an SD recording.

On my 6412, I get about 55 hours of digital recording space.

Right now I only have 1 or 2 HD shows recorded maybe 2 hours total.

As far as the favorites go -- does that mean favorite as in the system analyzes what I'm watching and marks it a favorite? That would make sense. I watch Rescue Me quite a bit on FX.

I didn't pick that channel as a favorite in the settings, is what I mean.

I am not sure what the logic is for "Auto favorites" but I noticed the same thing. A couple of channels I watch were added by the system.

As for stuttering, I found that changing from 1080i to 720p fixed it for me.

I've noticed a lot more 'stuttering' also, i'll try 720p and see if that helps. I was just going to go down to the cox office and ask for a new box

How many hours of record programs do you have? I think the 6412's only hold about 30 hours total. 6416 holds about 50 hours. It will also depend if the programs are HD,Digital or Analog.

One cable tech came, swapped out the 6412 with another 6412 and we had the same problem.

The second tech came yesterday. Apparently my signal level was -9 which is not good if you have digital phone. They did something at the pole and got the level to -3 which I guess is good. This came at the expense of my other HD box and the regular coax making this an epic clusterfrick. Both of these signals to those boxes are very staticy, as if I'm watching a show with rabbit ears.

Anyway I STILL have the problem with the 6412.. They think it's the Echo Passport 2.7 software that's the issue now. There's not much else that can be done unless there's a rollback. Here's hoping they rollback the update because I'm seriously thinking about going to DTV

Using the DVR information button (list/A/List Free Space) with a totally clear system (ie no recorded shows and no scheduled recordings), it said I had 25 hours available.

I don't pay too much attention to the free hours, it fluctuates quite a bit, but usually after a reboot, it will show more space available then it did before the reboot.

I think you can use this to find information on available space:
with 6412 on
Press Cable
Power off
Select
Select
d13 PVR/HDD STATUS
should show some helpful information.

http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA6453819.html

The bad news (for me anyway) is one of the major means of obtaining that goal will be the deployment of Switched Digital Video.

Also note that while the goal may be to have CAPACITY for 50 HD channels I sincerely doubt there will be that many HD channels in the lineup any time soon even if/when capacity is there.

Cool.

I just moved to the Wichita, KS Cox market. I ended up with a DCT6412 III. I haven't hooked it up using HDMI yet but it's on my list. I have a 50" DLP and basically I don't like the 6412 I have. The menu is slow as in it takes 3-5 seconds for the guide to come up and sometimes when changing channels using the Favorite guide it will change to a channel that isn't even close to the one I wanted to go to. The guide will at times pop up an hour or 2 ahead of the current time and of course I don't notice it until I change to that channel.

Basically I'm wondering if I should try to exchange this box for the 3416 and if their are any advantages to doing so. Or is the SD output on the 6412 phase 3 better than the 3416? Cause the output isn't to bad but the slowness and buggyness of the guide is irritating to say the least.

I went from the DCT 6416 to the 3416. It does run a little cooler, but that's about it. It's still a little slow, and it all works the same to me.

Well we haven't even gotten AEHD or Stars HD, I doubt they can cram 4 more on, when our upgrades for the last batch aren't complete.

But nice to hear positive news. Once the 750->860MHz upgrades are complete there will be plenty of room to accomodate 4 additional HD channels. In fact that upgrade alone gives you capability of 20 additional RF channels which theoretically could accommodate 40-50 additional HD channels if the entire bandwidth is dedicated to video only (which I doubt will be the case).

Plus Cox is adding SDV capability (limited markets for now) in addition to bandwidth expansion which will mean more efficient utilization of existing bandwidth.

Cox is not doing digital simulcasting yet but seam to have the bandwidth for the 26 HD channels. Cox, just keep em coming :) If that's true then the fact that they are not digital simulcasting there means they have more room than other markets who are simulcasting which is why they have room for additional HD channels. (simulcasting means they broadcast digital versions of some or all analog channels in addition to analog channels which takes up quite a lot of extra room. For example if they have to digital simulcast 70 analog channels then that's about 7 RF channels needed for digital simulcasting or the equivalent of 14-20 HD channels)

Cox is not doing digital simulcasting yet but seam to have the bandwidth for the 26 HD channels. Cox, just keep em coming :)



Check again, I think Digital simucast was fired up last week in Cheshire.

Thanks for the head's up, schmitter. The old analog channels are now showing up as QAM 256 - but can't see any difference in quality.

The biggest difference would be if you had an older series 2 dvr. The analog to digital converter in that box wasn't nearly as good as the one in the series 3.

I noticed a great improvement in my analog picture. I have an older converter box and live in Southington, CT. How can I tell if we have been converted.

Tune to an analog channel and turn the box off and quickly press select and go to the current channel status menu and if it says Qam 64 or 256 you are converted.

I've seen several articles stating Cox/Tivo will be ~ 6 months behind Comcast/Tivo public rollout so don't expect anything until well into 2008, maybe even 2009 before available in many/most Cox markets. At least Cox being 6 months delayed gives a chance for Comcast customers to beta test & weed out the severe bugs before Cox customers get a hold of it.

Comcast id roll out the tivo http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=akACGX6yFYR4 Seems like an extremely slow rollout is planned from Tivo's point of view: TiVo may reach as many as 3 percent of Comcast's DVR subscribers in 2008, Piper Jaffray & Co. analyst Michael J. Olson said today in an interview. Olson estimated that Comcast would have 6.66 million DVR subscribers next year.
``The impact in 2008 is relatively small,'' Olson said. TiVo's ability to tap into a large percentage of Comcast's DVR subscribers is ``limited because of the timing of the roll-out'' and the region-by-region strategy, he said. Still I guess that puts the estimate at about 200K DVR subscribers with the Tivo service by end of 2008 which would not be too shabby.

According to this post the Comcast/Tivo software rolling out on Motorola DVRs in select Comcast markets will be only $2.79/month more than the regular DVR software:
http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=5601964&&#post5601964
If it's true then perhaps the Cox/Tivo software if/when it finally becomes available should not be that much more than the current solution.

Anyone hear of software updates on the motorola boxes? Both the dvr and regular digital were downloading new software on wednesday morning. I haven't noticed any changes.

A few weeks ago I got my first TV with HDMI. I connected my Motorola 6412 DVR with a DVI>HDMI adapter. Ever since then, the DVR will freeze up if the TV is turned on without the DVR being switched on. Has anyone else notice this problem? Cox is completely clueless when I call them and I am about ready to throw my DVR into the street.

always leave the STB in the ON Mode. There is no point to setting the STB to standby mode.

You can also get an HDMI box(6416 or 3416) from Cox, then you will only need one cable for Audio&Video.

It's a known issue in thhe comcast forums you need to leave the dvr on like scanpa said.

bad day for cable

http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA6510595.html

I have a 6412 III which has a a HDMI output. You shuld be able to get your cable company to replace yours with one.
Also you save no power by turning "off" the 6412. All you do is stop it from sending a signal to your TV. The 6412 disk drive runs 365x24 as does the processor in case it needs to start to record a program.

I got the NON DVR HD box, why are the menus so much uglier, you don't even get the channel logo!!! And why are the settings limited? Shouldn't it be the same firmware, just DVR button is deactivated?

I think you are confused the software/guide is what is different and why it looks different on a non dvr hd box the firmware might be the same.

cox will continue using the Passport DCT and PassportEcho and also switch the SA users to it also.

well since Tvguide bought Aptiv which was inturn bought by microvision I think cox is sticking with the passport dct and passport echo guides.

Does anyone know if the rf out and the HDMI will work at the same time on a 3416? My non hd tv is going out, and would like to hook a new HDTV up through HDMI, but I use the rf out currently to a tuner card in my pc to make dvd's of my recordings

thanks

ajwees41

AFAIK it works. But I want to point out that you will get better quality video if you can use S-Video instead of RF from your 3416 to your PC's tuner/video capture card.

Finally Cox has the DCH3416 boxes, picked one up yesterday, this morning before i went to work i hooked up a 160gb external closure drive i use and hooked it in the front usb port, in settings it shows it recognizes the drive and says what it is, in the dvr status it does not show more space, i will screw around more tonight, might need a boot of both devices.

the 3416 supports this officially by moto and cox? News to me.

he mentioned the DCH3416 not the DCT 3416

ah, what is the diff, does it offer multi room support via a think client?

Is it out in OC?

The DCH has been out for a while in Hamp Roads but the firmware had yet to come out that enables multiroom or external HD support. Though it detects the HD it is not usable.

In diagnostic's USB with the External is a YES YES, disconnect the usb it says NO, so it does recognize it, under d11 Interface/Port Status.
Going to page 4 it lists..............
USB Devices
1 USBDISK001 Mass Storage
Cypress Semicondu Usb2.0 Storage DE
Which is prob the model of my USB Enclosure.

I really don't think it the firmware, but the guide software that will enable the multiroom dvr.

what would cause the dvr to reboot when checking singnal strength on a channel that should be avalable, but is blank?

When I tune to the chanel and do the b,up,b,down it causes the box to reboot any ideas before calling for a service call and the blame the internal wiring . It has worked for a while, but since the begining of the week certain channels don't come in.

I think I've seen what you're describing. When you do the Menu-Down-B-Up-B thing, you get different slices of information by pressing A, B or C. For me, it always comes up with C by default. I can also select B with no problem. But when I select A, the box reboots. This behavior began many months ago after a firmware upgrade. No idea what changed; now I just use it as a way to reboot with the remote. :) BTW, I get the same effect on both a 6412 and a 6416.

Man, I hope that 30 second skip works! I'll have to try it out tonight. I'd noticed the new graphics, and the guide is definitely faster. The "one moment" graphic is nice, you can tell the remote worked even if the guide takes a second, so you don't keep hitting the button.

cox to launch new guides in 2009 on HD/HD DVR

I lost the red "Record Light" function several months ago with the latest Firmware Download.

I can work around it by just checking the record list for the little red "Target Button" but that is a pain, especially when my system is off....Although the recording reliability is prolly 95% or more, it was "comforting" to see that little red light on the DCH3416 screen to KNOW that what you wanted to record was actually being recorded.

Does anyone with this same glitch have any idea if or when Cox is going to fix this with another Firmware Update???

I had two things happen with the last Cox firmware upgrade:
(1) Lost the record lights
(2) Audio switches from AC3 to PCM on BOTH my boxes at the same time at least once a week. Once this happens, I can't set it back to AC3 in the Menu. Only a hard reboot will get both boxes working properly again. Very annoying.
BTW, I have DCH3416's. Totally different recievers connected, both report PCM at the same time.

Yes, I have reported the PCM issue to the Cox call center in RI (I am in CT).
I was discouraged when the tech didn't know what PCM and AC3 was.
I too encourage more people to report this issue; hopefully we'll get it through.

like I already have said cox and comcast are in the same boat since it's a motorola firmware problem.

When I get my box switched into "PCM" mode like that what helps me is to hit "Swap" or to pull up another show from the DVR menu. After that my box and reciever will resync. Only occasionally do I have to power-cycle the box.

Thanks for the tip; I'll give it a try next time it happens. I've actually grown used to this issue and it does have its benefits - namely it causes me to reboot occasionally, which can't be a bad thing. Unfortunately, most of the time I realize it is an issue, I inevitably have something recording and forget to reboot. This certainly pales in comparison to the failed recording issues of the past...

It'd be nice if they fixed the record LEDs too.

Anyone heard anything about hooking up an external hard drive to these boxes? It's been rumored for over a year. With all the Olympics and such, my 160 GB drive get's filled up all the time. I'd be happy to buy a 500GB external drive if I could hook it up.

Cox told me they don't have any expansion options or larger hard drives right now. I'm now renting a second box, which helps, but isn't the best option since we can't network the PVR's.

So I went to the office here in Omaha out on the westside. They gave me a DCH 3416 since two moto boxes in a row have crapped out on me. So far so good this unit is working and looks pretty good.

Actually it was OmahaTVAddict that posted the picture. Perhaps he changed it because it appears to be silver. Either way, my only complaint was the record light / DD issues. Now that they've been fixed, I have no complaints. I believe the difference between the DCT and DCH is that the latter has an all-digital tuner.

It looks like they consolidated some of the various menus (Movies On Demand, HBO On Demand, etc.) or at least moved the premium channel menus closer to the top. Just not having to go into a second page would be nice. Of course, we could have different choices in OC, so we'll see. As far as the previews go, ours has been doing that for some time. Are you saying that when you go into HBO On Demand, for example, you don't have to click preview any more; it just previews automatically when you move the cursor to a particular movie title? Or does it just show general previews no matter which menu you are in? If the latter, that is how it's been for us for a while. Thanks!

no if you select a ondemand channel to view while you are looking the video is still playing in a smaller window.

\our menus have always been listed this way the only difference I see is the speed and the font of thetext has changed. in freezone for example we have 10-11 choices for music it was 7-8 on one page now it's even.

Hmmm...I'm starting to think it is the upgrade we got a few months ago. I remember it being even slower before that. I wouldn't say it was a great deal faster after the upgrade, so who knows.

I did notice when recording something and then starting on demand the red record light stays on since the update.

What's the latest on tivo running on a cox dvr? Based on feedback from Comcast/Tivo forums it's still very slow and buggy and nothing like owning a standalone Tivo. In fact many in the Comcast/Tivo forums gave up on it and moved to standalone Tivo units instead so it's a non-starter as far as I can see.
