DIGITAL CABLE BOX / DCT6208

Your DVR service features the Motorola DCT6208 with built in DVR (Digital Video Recorder) which gives you total control over what you watch and when you watch it. Your DVR allows you to store and access TV programs — functioning like a VCR, but without videotape. With your DVR you can also pause live TV and record shows through i-Guide, across multiple channels and time slots.

Recording Capacity

The recording capacity on the DVR depends on the video format of the programming you wish to record. Here are some guidelines for determining recording capacity:

Analog TV Shows (not digital) – Typically analog cable channels are channels 2 through 78, but may vary depending on your cable system. Recording capacity is up to 25 hours.

Digital TV Shows (compressed) – Typically digital cable channels are channels 100 and above, but vary depending on your cable system. Recording capacity is between 30 and 60 hours.

High Definition TV Shows (HDTV) – Shows that are broadcast in HD may be recorded in the same format, provided your DVR is connected to a High Definition Television. Recording capacity is up to 10 hours.
