Has anyone used this successfully with a COX Cable Box or Cox Cable DVR box? Another brand I tried did not work - so I'm hoping someone knows.

It should work just fine with any IR device I have one of these and it works with time Warner cable and all my sound equipment

Not sure if this helps... I have Comcast DVR and it works. Plugs to the tv.

Yes. I am using it right now with Verizon FIOS. I think you need to see if your DVR has firmware 1.9 or later (it should by now). When you plug it in for the first time, your DVR will ask you to format it (it takes a minute or two). I have a QIP 7216 FIOS DVR.

It worked with our Motorola HD DVR and HD receivers when we had Xfinity Cable via Comcast in the past. We switched to a satellite company in the last few months. To answer your question more directly, it worked great with the Xfinity boxes (Motorola) as of last Spring (2013) when we had that service. I hope this helps!

I have an older Direct TV DVR (model HR-20-100S). Will this HD work for me? Also, can I make it the default HD, to avoid using the lousy internal HD in the Direct TV DVR? (I have had about 10 crash and burn on me over a 10 year period, and lost hundreds of recorded programs.I would pay extra if they had a reliable solid state HD as an option).

I have a Suddenlink DVR and I have a HDMI cable from the cable DVR box to the tv and the Optical cable from the tv to the Zvox and that's it. It was simple even for me. The remote control that Suddenlink provides had to be programmed to control the Zvox volume, TV volume and turn everything on and off at the same time(wasn't too hard with the remote instructions I found online).

I have never tried it with a DVR however, I would think if it has the space it should work. I also found several YouTubes on this very subject. Good Luck!

Hi- I looked in the owner's manual to see if "Optimum"is listed under Cable Boxes, it's not. If I knew who the manufacturer of their box is (may be written on the box itself), I could see if codes for that manufacturer are listed, a good indicator that it would work. Let me know and I'll look. Leigh

I use Dish for my television reception with regular and HD channels. I have had no problem recordings using the dvr 620 by Toshiba (once I mastered the manual).

Have you made a recording from a Verizon FIOS box recently? My DR410 has worked perfectly for years but in the past month it won't record anything coming from the DVR. It pops up a message about the signal not being one that can be recorded (like you tried to burn from a commercial DVD or VCR) and I haven't been able to burn anything else. Very frustrating!! Anyone else see this problem recently? And does anyone know a solution? Thanks.

Yes it works with my Comcast DVR box. But I feel like you really need a straight on line of site with the sensor for it to work well. Sometimes from an angle it doesn't seem to pick up the remote signal

Yes, i tried it before with cable and an antanae and it doesnt work. I har that if yo have an older tivo and i mean a rellyNo, it wont work. They block it somehow

Most likely not. This DVR uses a Coaxial Input (the kind used by over-the-air antennas). While the cable input into your "Cable Box" is a coaxial input, this device does not have the ability to convert the (scrambled/digital) signal from the cable company into a picture you could view on your television. Your best bet would be to ask your cable provider to supply a DVR which is designed to work on their system.

That isnt the setup i have but based on my unserstanding of how the unit works, it should work. I have cable but no box and i ran the cable into the dvr so i would think that if you run a line out of the antenna into the dvr, it should work..

I use the QT5682, but any dvr that is analog will work. It comes with a ptz remote receiver but if your dvr has it built in you will not need it.

I seem to remember there being an adjustment for syncing.. The thing worked very well for me hooking up a base model comcast cable box. At one point I had an out of sync problem, but rebooting this box fixed it.. Never had it happen since.

This might work, press MAIN, select CABLE, then from the cable menu, select DVR. DIfferent systems work differently. The remote was not easy to program.
