I have one of the early Replay units which I have upgraded with a 125 hour disk. It continues to work just fine.
I am going to install a Sony plasma HD unit so I have some questions.
I want to install a new digital HD STP from Comcast for all my cable services. I previously tried an ordinary digital cable box but it would not accept the IR adapter to control channel changes
Comcast says I should get two boxes. A regular digital box for non HD programs and use the serial ports on the Replay and the cable box for regular program recording. Then attach an HD box for HDTV and close the "eye" on that box with some tape. Sort of a funky solution I think.
A major agenda here is that the entire configuration has to be usable by my wife without a lot of button fussing or else I'm dead.
Any thought would be appreciated. I believe the boxes are from Motorola.
