Hello,
This Comcast conversion is getting the best of me. Until they made up their minds to have their cable signal NEED an in home converter to get the digital channels my life has been miserable! I got 2 DTAs from comcast (I already had a converter box for my HD TV).
Originally I wired the wall cable to my DVR then the out from the DVR to the HD Converter box to my HD TV. I was able to watch a show and record another. No problem.
Now comes the problem, with the "conversion" my DVR can no longer "understand" the cable without going through a converter. It needs its own converter. PLUS that DTA needs its own cable feed, so I installed a splitter. Now I have the wall connection going to a splitter with one output going to the HD converter box to the TV and the other output going to my DVR. The problem I have now is that my DVR must be tuned to channel 3 inorder to get the data from the DTA and I needed to use the RF blaster to "read" the channel guide from the DTA in order for the DVR to automatically record a show for me. Otherwise I would have to manually record every show (which is a pain in the you know what!) As of yesterday I was unable to get the guide to register into my DVR. I am so fed up!!!!
Am I the only one having this problem? I really do not want to have to "rent" one of their DVRs.
Isn't there a governmental agency that is supposed to help us out? Perhaps if we all bombarded them something might get done.
The "Technical Support" (and I use the term loosely) from Comcast is useless. Their solution is for me to pay for a service call so their installers can help me out.
This should not have been THAT difficult.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.........
Karen
