So far as I've heard, only the SA3250 and the Moto6200 are supported, but your mileage may vary. My tech was very nice in that he stayed while I did my troubleshooting steps. Mostly, I think it was because he was interested in the technology. Best of luck! Please be sure to post which channels you

Well I'm hoping that when the Tech comes out on Saturday, he is half as helpful as the guy you got. He is supposedly bringing a Pioneer Box, so hopefully either it will work with Myth, or he ends up bringing a compatible box. TW in Columbus, Ohio (my TW provider) tells me that they don't provide

A TW rep came over to my house to "investigate" my 3250's inability to record anything but a few HD channels. The reps on the phone were pretty clueless, and previous techs were also unhelpful. Since I was home sick and didn't have anything better to do, I told them to go ahead and send another per

Ok, I finally called them back with the FCC regulations in hand, and they are going to provide me with a Pioneer 3510 STB. Anyone know anything about this box? Is it myth compatible? If so, will it change channels through firewire, or does it need an IR blaster? For that matter, does it actually ha

At least in Rochester, you have to specifically request the firewire enabled boxes. And then, it's all luck as to whether you get all the channels. On 8/4/05, Jon Kunze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I currently have an SA 3250 STB and just recently got a linux compatible > firewire card for capture
