I've just upgraded to digital cable and am now looking into adding
ReplayTV to the mix.
 
Is it possible for ReplayTV to switch to any analog or "premium"
digital channel (e.g. Channel 300, HBO) and automatically record? (I'm
using a Motorola Digital Cable box)  Or is recording of premium
channels only possible by manually setting the cable box.
 
Thanks,
 
Jim

Replays come with an "IR Blaster" that plugs into the Replay and attaches to  
the front of the cable box.  I, too, have a Motorola digital box, and the  
channel changing works great.  It would occasionally drop a digit in the  
beginning, but I've had it over a year now, and I can't remember the last  
time it goofed on channel changing.  And you don't have to do a thing with  
the cable box.  Better, in fact, if you just leave it on and alone.  :-)
 
Regards,
 
Margaret
