More info about comcast HD setup please

1 - On my Moto 5100, I have the set for stereo, no compression. I believe
the compression reduces the dynamic range, reduces the max highs and lows to
make the overall volume seem louder but this is at the expense of the
natural range of sounds. For example, the dynamic range of sound in
orchestral music that a CD can provide may sound great in the home but in a
car with the windows down, you would lose those quieter passages to the
intrusion of wind and road noise. In this example, compression would to make
the quieter passages listenable without having the crescendos blow out your
eardrums.

2 - The software that drives the box is sanctioned by your local cableco
that rents it to you. You need to contact them to find out if a feature such
as DVI, 1394, or USB is supported in their configuration. They are
responsibile for the configuration that is deployed.

YMMV
