Once in a while you get a feed that is poor quality. Just find a better feed. There are several feeds available for each channel or show. Im still in the learning phase of finding out all the things the box can do. I'm only using about 40% of its potential. I have found a few reliable and easy apps and have not tried the numerous others.
Go to your local RadioShack for an HD antenna around $30-$50. Then get yourself a ROKU streaming device. Buh-bye comcast.
Have Netflix I want up to date shows. Tries the trial of hulu and it was just sending me to discovery channel.com or history channel.com and I still could watch up to date shows.Quote:

Any other methoods? Or should I just relize that I watch too much TV anyway, and don't worry about it?
You can download stuff with the streaming box I linked to, according to their FAQ.
Check this out. http://www.amazon.com/Channel-Master...channel+masterQuote:

No. You program it to record a specific show at a specific time on a specific channel. It has a program guide. If you channel surf while it's recording, it doesn't record the surfing. If you are watching a show and decide you want to record it, you can tell it to record on the spot. It will only record that show.Quote:

Sounds like what I am looking for. But do I need to rend a Cablecard from TWC? or pay a subscription fee like TIVO?Quote:

Major networks plus a zillion spanish channels. If you are looking for cable networks, this isn't for you.Quote:
