    Need some help with Comcast HD DVR

    I just got a new HD cable box with HD DVR today but have a question about hookup. With my last HD cable box I used seperate connections for watching TV and HDTV. It made for a lot of wires coming out of the cable box but it simplified use of my AV system. With the new box I noticed it now can output through digital coax for all channels. However the s-video output doesnt seem to work. I thought maybe the component video connections somehow was causing it but I unhooked them and still nothing, even tried another s-video cable. Could the box be defective or is there a reason why its not working?

    I figured out the problem with the s-video out (is only active when SDTV is picked during inital setup) but now have another one.

    When watching live TV and I pause it I get no sound when hitting play. This only happens on channels below 100. Once I go back to live TV I get sound. I have both digital and analog audio connections so I am at a loss as to why this is happening. Any ideas?

      Has anyone won a fight with Comcast?
      by Herbonbay
      I like to think of myself as a person who doesn't let much get under my skin, life is simply too short. Most of my friends tend to think that I take this attitude to a maddening degree. People that don't get pissed off have a tendency to piss off those that do. Oh well. That being said, why do I turn...

      Need advice on connections

      Hello and first let me apologize for my ignorance. I have a question about my new equipment and how it was connected. There is no problem but I don't know if it is connected in the best way and Sony tech support was noncommittal.
