Record and playback high definition TV signals
I got the box from comcast, it has the firewire ports, they charge an extra $5 a month. They asked if I had an HD TV and I said yes (the computer). I've connected it and tried VirtualDVHS on channels 0, 1, and 63. No luck.

So I tried Channels 0-63, no luck.
COMCAST: Record and playback high definition TV signals
I just got off the phone with Comcast and finally got someone who seemed like they knew what they were talking about. They said I needed the 6200 box, not the 5100, which I have. He had me set the box into diagnostic mode (power button, then select) and looked at a bunch of data confirming I do have 7.07 and one screen with I/O information and he said the firewire is working. So it must be the software end. I'm stuck.
COMCAST: Record and playback high definition TV signals
Last night I tried to record using AV/C Browser enhanced, and was successful. I didn't try VirtualDVHS again, but will later tonight.
So my 6200, Comcast in San Jose, works - I was pretty excited.
COMCAST: Record and playback high definition TV signals
I had my Comcast Moto HD box swapped yesterday for a firewire-enabled job, and did manage to get it to work, though for a while I thought I had cooked the firewire ports or something. I could see it in AVCbrowser (channel 0) but not get it in virtualDVHS, then not see it in AVCbrowser even after various reboots and power-offs. But after some combination of diddling I did get it to record reliably (haven't tried to program any timers, though). |
