Auto Power Off - cuts energy cost.

This feature automatically turns OFF the cable box when it's been idle for four hours.

3 Ways to Pause TV in a Whole Home DVR network.

The HD cable box in a Whole Home DVR network can now pause Live TV. When you press the pause button on the remote for the HD cable box, either: 1) the live TV show pauses, or 2) a request displays for the person watching TV on the DVR to relinquish a tuner to the HD cable box for pausing live TV, or 3) a message displays that the DVR tuners are busy recording programs and cannot assist with the pause-TV request. From the DVR, you can cancel one of the recordings in process, which then allows HD cable box to pause live TV.

Compatible with DNLA devices.

Our Trio Program Guide is now compatible with the industry's new DLNA specification for Premium Video compliant devices. These devices, when available in the marketplace, can display recordings from the DVR.

To learn more, visit the DLNA website at www.dlna.org

You can now use the SELECT button instead of the arrow buttons on all dialog boxes.

New icon called CLIPPED displays when Series Recordings overlap.

Overlap occurs when the end of a series recording overlaps the beginning of the next series recording. The new CLIPPED feature clips a bit off the series episode that was given a lower priority, so that the higher priority can complete the last few minutes of its recording.
