External Digital Video Recorder (Dvr) - Motorola DCX3300 User Manual

3

The DCX3300 is equipped with an eSATA interface on the rear panel. This interface

allows the connection of an external hard disk drive for Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

functionality. DVR functionality provides the ability to record both Standard-Definition TV

(SDTV) and High-Definition TV (HDTV) programs. Storage time varies based on the video

format and specific channel.

DVR offers the ability to control your viewing experience by pausing (time shifting) live

TV and providing trick playback modes (pause, fast forward, slow forward, fast rewind,

slow rewind).

The DCX3300-M model also includes integrated MoCA™ networking which supports

whole-home DVR capabilities. This feature extends the DVR experience to DCX3200-M

or other compatible non-DVR set-tops with integrated MoCA, when enabled by

application software. On your non-DVR set-top you can now view your DVR recordings,

playback content, and set future recordings all from another room in your home.

With the DCX3300 set-top, you can:

Record Programming. The total hours of recorded content will vary based on the

storage capacity of your specific external drive and type of content (digital SD or HD and

encoding method, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4) being recorded.
