Automatic recording of digital channels

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.replaytv (More info?)

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
