Subject: 8300HD for SD TV - Copy to VCR on S-Video output? - msg#00095

Hi,

I'm on TW Austin - Sara. Based on the reports here I just swapped my
8300 for a 8300HD for use with my Panasonic SD set.

The only 8300HD output that worked with the Panasonic was the S-Video
output. Based on the "Connecting the Explorer 8300HD" guide, I
expected the S-Video to display the same content as the other main outputs.

So, imagine my surprise when I fired up "Copy to VCR" and the S-Video
output mirrored the VCR output, not the main output. Since my TV only
works with S-Video, this means that I'm unable to watch TV while
copying another program to my DVD recorder. I had to reboot the
8300HD to get control back since I couldn't see the "stop copying to VCR" menu.

I have it configured for SD, 480i, fixed picture format, although
I've tried "passthrough" with the same result.

Does anyone know if this is a feature, bug, or mis-configuration?

Thanks,
Kim

They didn't. I tried to start them up again, it said these 9PM-10PM shows conflicted with Letterman at 10:35. So I deleted Letterman, got these two shows going again, and then rescheduled Letterman at the same time and same channel it was scheduled on before. -W- Time Warner Austin: http://www.timewarneraustin.com Road Runner Status Page: http://help.rr.com/HMSLogic/network_status.aspx Although its employees participate in discussions, this Group is neither sanctioned by nor affiliated with Time Warner.

While things are pretty much back to normal, that is also the problem: blocks of hours worth of incompletions and then when things show as complete, they dl'd corrupted. --- In cable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "JasonDHome" <jasond@...> wrote: > > Heard back from Peter, there is a "major hardware failure".

That's interesting, because Cox is shipping a Cox branded remote that doesn't have a # button. I've asked them for an AT8400, but I'm still waiting for a response. I always wondered what the # button on my AT8400 was for.

You can still access the same function via the Picture Size option on the Quick Settings Menu. Just a little more cumbersome. Regards, David V.
