Multiple DVR Support
The latest software upgrade from Cox can now support multiple DVRs that can be added to your Whole Home DVR
service. Up to five receivers, any combination of DVRs and non-DVR receivers, can be networked together. You can
benefit from having multiple DVRs for your Whole Home DVR service in the following two main ways.
• No more running out of space for your recordings. Each additional DVR you add to your Whole Home DVR
service will provide you with extra space for your recordings.
• No more missed recordings because you can now record two extra shows for each additional DVR you
add to your Whole Home DVR service. For example, if you combine two DVRs, then you can record up to
four HD programs simultaneously. If you combine three DVRs, then you can record up to six HD programs
simultaneously. You may even choose to combine five DVRs to record up to ten programs simultaneously.
DVR Network Status
DVRs participate in the Whole Home DVR network
in either a visible or an invisible status. A visible
status allows the DVR to make all of its recorded
programs and scheduled recordings accessible to
any other DVR or non-DVR receiver in the network.
Also, a visible status allows a DVR to accept
recording requests from any other networked DVR
or a non-DVR receiver. In other words, visible status
operates both ways. At any given point in time, you
must have at least one visible DVR in your home
network to allow non-DVR receivers to access
recordings.
An invisible status allows the DVR to hide all of its
recorded programs and scheduled recordings
from being accessed by any other DVR or non-
DVR receiver in the network. However, an invisible
DVR can access the recorded programs and
scheduled recordings that are currently stored
on all visible DVRs in the network. In other words,
invisible status operates only one way. Invisible
status is beneficial in situations where you do
not wish to make recordings from your personal
DVR be made available to other receivers in your
household, but at the same time you wish to have
full access to recordings stored on other DVRs in
your network.
By default, all DVRs in your Whole Home DVR
network are set as visible DVRs. If you wish to
change their network status, you can do this in the
Settings Menu. For more information on how to
view and change the network status of DVRs, see
Chapter 11: Settings.
You can change the network status of DVR
