Tivo 2 and Comcast HDTV
Some notes from the Comcast HDTV install today. Maybe this will save someone some time. The Comcast HD Cable Box is a Motorola DCT5100, and doesn’t have the serial remote that the General Instruments had. Using the Tivo’s IR blaster, you need to configure the Tivo to connect to a General Instruments (that’s right, NOT Motorola) Cable Box, use “enter” to change channels, and use code 1006. And of course it goes without saying that the Tivo doesn’t take an HD signal yet, so you need to bypass the Tivo when watching HD channels.
