Time Warner Warning - nevermind

[matz2]

First of all, I would like to thank BrutusMaximus for taking the time to try to help me fix my DVD Recorder last night.

Anyways after a few hours, neither of us could get my DVD Recorder to access my DVR or cable. BM diagnosed the problem as something to do with my DVR/Cable Box's outputs. I finally call Time Warner and they tell me that the outputs on their boxes do not work. So basically, my DVD Recorder is useless unless I want to tape everything to a VCR and then burn it. I have had it with Time Warner, their customer service is something to be desired. If you are planning on going out and buying a DVD Recorder and you have Time Warner, you probably should save your cash as it won't work.

Which cable box do you have? Every output on my HD box works perfectly. I have the S-Video, Component, and Composite out's all hooked up and they all work.

I have the Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8000HD. Do you have a Time Warner box?

Never mind folks. The problem was that I had an old dvr box. Once I upgraded my box, the outputs worked.

Oh shit, I hope they will un-cancel my service. I pissed on my cable box before they picked it up so I hope they will give me a new one. See if I ever listen to you again. :p
