Hi--

I just recently bought my cable box from TW when I knew I was moving out of the area so I could keep all the HD programs I had recorded. However, when I plug the unit into my set in the new area, I no longer get my list of recorded programs! It says it is "re-building" the menus, but it never does. I'm assuming that it needs some signal from TW in order to function -- even to show previous recordings??

Is there some way to transfer the programs onto my Mac and send then the thing back? Or at least get it to show the programs?

Thanks!

All My Best,
Jeffrey
