Cox Cable HD DVR problems

Postby pvchat1 on Fri Aug 31, 2007 3:11 pm

These are the bugs I've seen with the DCT6412 DVR player. It's frustrating that Motorola (or Passport) can't seem to fix what is a relatively simple device.

  • When returning to a live channel after watching a recording, none of the DVR functions (pause, rewind, ff) work anymore. If you swap to the other tuner and back then everything starts working again.
  • Rarely these days, but still occurs, you end up with a 0 length recording because it forgets that you subscribe to a channel.
  • When you try to set up what would be a third concurrent recording you get an error which is ok, but after eliminating one of the three, the other two will sometimes end up as a 0 length recording error when they fire.
  • The box will stop fast forwarding and offer to erase what you are watching when there is still 5-6 minutes left in the show.
  • If you hit the end of a recording and then skip back, the audio stops working. Pausing and starting brings the audio back.
