Some features and configurations may be different depending on the cable service provide ie Comcast, Viacom, ATT, Cox, Time Warner etc We recommend you check with your local cable company as to the features offered and hard drive sizes included with their equipment as the same cable box model number may have a different size hard drive installed and some features may be deactivated by the cable service provider.The new DCX 3400 set-top boxes also decodes both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC services while the DCT predecessor only handles MPEG-2.This means that the DCX3400 will support for both 2-D and 3-D TV, Dolby Digital and Digital PLUS audio and automatic video formatting for 480ip all the way up to 1080ip via HDMI.If thats not enough space for you the DCX 3400 has an eSata port which will allow you to connect an external 1TB eSata Hard Drive expanding the recording capacity to 200-240 hours of HD recording.
Now heres your money saving tip While Shaw, Future Shop and Best Buy all sell dedicated, branded 1TB hard drives labeled PVR Expanders for 150-200 dollars what they dont tell you is that these so called PVR Expander hard drives are just Western Digital Branded drives and that any external eSata hard drive enclosure which has a Western Digital brand hard drive enclosed will work and interface with a ShawMotorola digital cable box. Samsung Pvr Drm Remove Series Of HDTVWe tested an 85 dollar, MicroNet 1TB Fantom External drive with an eSata port and 1TB Western Digital HD installed inside and it worked perfectly with both the ShawMotorola DCT and newer DCX series of HDTV digital cable boxes. We saved 45-100 over the cost of the specially branded PVR Expander. We havent tested it yet but were wondering if a 2TB Micronet eSata external drive will also work We expect it will however a word of caution the larger the hard drive the more likely it is to fail especially when using it in a PVR application where it will be continuously recorded and re-recorded over and over again. You may not have hear of MoCA yet but you will be hearing it more and more in the coming months. MoCA stands for Multimedia over Coax Alliance and it is a new technology and protocol which will allow MoCA enabled devices to communicate with each other in a local area network over coaxial cable at similar speeds to what currently exists with Cat5 and Cat6 lan networks. Because there is so much existing coaxial wiring installed throughout the world and wireless bandwidth is limited and expensive MoCA is the technology that is going to propel IP to the next level. Samsung Pvr Drm Remove Full Digital AndShaw is in the process of upgrading their network to full digital and once complete sometime next year we expect Shaw to eventually roll out the MoCA capabilities on Motorola DCX set-top boxes. Front Panel: The dimensions of the Motorola DCX3400 are 15 wide x 9 deep and 2.2 high. The housing is black with a shinny black front with soft touch buttons and 4 character blue digital display. Blue and red LEDs light up to indicate power, message, data, home, lan and video output format. We like the full feature front panel soft touch control buttons which include direct buttons for Menu, guide, format, channel up and down, and GUI up, down, left, right and select buttons in addition to the power button. There is a concealed IR receiver and USB type A port also on the front of the cable box. This cable box contains a cooling fan which operates periodically and does generate some noise which usually is not noticeable in most rooms however when placing the unit in the bedroom the fan noise may be audible when trying to sleep therefore we recommend the DCX 3200 cable box for bedroom installations. The DCX 3200 does not have a cooling fan see review elsewhere on our blog. UHF, assign able remote controls are necessary when more than one cable box is housed in the same equipment rack or when a single PVR is used throughout the house as a media center or hub. It would have been great to see similar features on these new DCX series cable boxes. As you can seen their new Motorola cable boxes are a great improvement over previous product offerings but there are still a lot of features and options missing from the Shaw hardware line-up offered by other providers.
