No it cannot replace A Comcast DVR. The Boxee Box plays NetfliX, Youtube, and files shared on a network.

No it only works for over the air signals (OTA). And DO NOT buy this box! The company has shut down the DVR service and abandoned all its customers.

Yes, as long as your cable box has the RCA out jacks for the composite video and left and right audio, as almost all of them do nowadays. This unit has the input RCA jacks for these connections.

I can only say for Time Warner but its probably all the same. You don't pay for Comcast's set top box, "DVR service", or a remote control. You will pay the monthly subscription to TiVo.

Well I'm no expert, but I think if you have a tv antenna with a coaxial cable and hook that into the Comcast antenna in port and than run the coaxial cable from your Comcast cable box's out/tv port into this unit's antenna in port, and than hook this unit directly to your tv, you might be able to record cable programs. Of course than you get to play the game of toying with your various remotes to learn how to switch between tv, cable etc. But I'd say it's worth a try.

I think it will since it has a "blaster" port. But I can't figure out why you need this box if you already have cable?? It can capture video via S-video, or component video from your cable box if that is what you are trying to do...I'm guessing you do not have a DVR cable box, so you could get it to capture video if you want, painful {setup/control} but should work. I think that the main use of this WinTV HVR is for OTA TV, and it works well for that as long as there is a strong signal. e.g. you need an outside digital antenna.

No, Cat5 wired connection is your only option to connect DVR to the router.

This device is a cable box/media player only. It doesnt have any dvr features. I bought a tv card for my computer that I have hooked up to my tv as well and that works great.

No. A "DVR" with Cat5 inputs is typically an NVR or Network Video Recorder, and would require IP cameras. Do some research online and make sure you are using the correct camera type to go with your "DVR".

No. The TiVo and cable box won't interoperate. If you have two or more TiVo's in your house, then they can see each other, and act as a single multi-room DVR.One other consideration for TiVo: you will not be able to access your cable companies' On Demand programming via the TiVo box. I felt that the benefits of the TiVo outweighed the On Demand functionality, but it is still something to consider when deciding to purchase a TiVo.

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

It replaces the DVR box and cable box if you have one. You will need to pick up a cable card and tuner box from Comcast. You can either pay for the lifetime service or monthly for the TiVo. I got the cable card and tuner box for free but um with Cox Communications.

That should be what you need it should be an "M stream" card. It's the same type of card that goes inside of a TiVo DVR. Also the signal is much better with the centon infiniTV then for instance the Comcast or Xfinity cable boxes in my experience in my residence

I think it would work,recommend checking specs on your dvr just to make sure.

You should double check with Comcast to ensure that you can use this product with your specific plan, but in general, yes! -- this router is designed to replace an existing cable modem or cable modem/router combination.

I don't have a cable box but in order to get digital cable I need one. So with a cable box, I can't record and watch a different show at that time.

I have Comcast, and I wanted to not rent a box. I had to buy a cable modem and a router to do that. You will need a cable modem.
