Does anyone know if the Scientific Atlantic Explorer 8300HD cable box for Time Warner has the HDMI and component video outputs active at the same time?

I can't speak for that model, but the SA Explorer 3250HD for TWC does. I know because I use both and it switches back and forth without a hitch.

No. On the SA8300HD DVR you need to connect one or the other (component OR HDMI) not both, only one of those two HD outputs can be active.

However the fixed 480i outputs on RF, composite and s-video are output simultaneously with whichever single HD output you use. Useful for recording to VCRs or DVD recorders or also outputting to a SD TV or display, even in another room - particularly from the channel 3 RF output with a coax cable!

This would make sense, but it is not the case with mine. I just got the box a couple of days ago but could not get this to work I will have to try some more, maybe it is a bad box.

Just got a new box and no more problems.
