Nextbox 2.0 how does it work

Having worked with Rogers on the largest Switched Digital Video implementation in North America, we are excited to further the relationship and continue to help advance the Rogers video experience with new Web and IP technologies.

Theoretically, you should be able to connect the NextBox to your dvr and from your dvr to your tv on a temporary basis and copy to your dvr or direct to a dvd.

Thank you for the suggestion. I sort of thought that that was where you were going when you asked about the HDMI outlet. Your proposal makes sense, theoretically, and I will let you know what happens when I try to implement it.

Thanks again for your assistance. You are very welcome, Michael. My husband is the real expert in the family, but knowledge does rub off. We are contemplating getting a NextBox; we have analog service and they keep on cutting channels from our package, much to our great annoyance and no compensatory reduction in the bills.

The main stumbling block is the inability to skip commercials efficiently, though I understand you can now skip forward 3 minutes. With our dvrs each press of the skip forward button gives us 30 seconds, then, according to the machine, you can skip back 5 seconds for each press or 20 seconds.

Whichever machine it is, we can skip all of the commercials pretty efficiently. Oh the horror, oh the dread, if we have to watch any commercials! Hey Michael, were you able to figure out the recording from the Nextbox? I am now having the exact same issue and came across this article. I keep dropping the signal in my out-of-line-of-sight condo bedroom.

I wrote a story about buying a used terminal and how to avoid getting burned. The old box is a rental from Rogers. Any flaws in this plan? Btw, how much do you charge to deal with Rogers for me? Hopefully that will not be an issue for you. IF it does, call back and escalate using the case number you got earlier. That seems to work for me. Good point about the extra outlet, I think we got a couple when we had Rogers VIP and they were free.

We are not VIP anymore, so that might be an issue. Thanks for the Rogers tips, my wife, who is much more patient than I am usually deals with them. Took her a few months to cancel Shomi. This question is:. Where do we find the software guru who can do this, and get Rogers or whomever is our service provider to enlist their services so that we all are super-happy-campers?

Have you attempted to re-enter the code in the remote? This is a known issue. The Nextbox series will perform random updates without alerting the user. The update bogs down the processor to the point where it cannot accept any inputs from the user.

You just have to wait it out. Yes they run essentially the same software and are usually updated around the same time.
