The DVR
The DCX3400 set-top is equipped with an internal hard drive for DVR (Digital Video
Recorder) functionality, which provides the ability to record both Standard-Definition TV
(SDTV) and High-Definition TV (HDTV) programs. Storage time varies based on the video
format and specific channel.
DVR offers the ability to control your viewing experience by pausing (time shifting) live
TV and providing trick playback modes (pause, fast forward, slow forward, fast rewind,
slow rewind). You may experience a slight delay when switching between time-shifted
and live TV.
The DCX3400-M model also includes integrated MoCA™ networking which supports
whole-home DVR capabilities. This feature extends the DVR experience to DCX3200-M
or other compatible non-DVR set-tops with integrated MoCA, when enabled by
application software. On your non-DVR set-top you can now view your DVR recordings,
playback content, and set future recordings all from another room in your home.
With the DCX3400 set-top, you can:
Record Programming . The total hours of recorded content will vary based on the
storage capacity of your specific DCX model and type of content (digital SD or HD) being
recorded.
