PSA if your Motorola DVR is sluggish

[spacejamz]

My Time Warner box is sluggish as hell. The weird thing is that we had an older model that worked relatively well, but then it died and they gave us a new cable box (looked exactly the same but it had a cable card in it) that is just horrible.

try that firmware upgrade trick (read the list for set top boxes that aren't covered by this though)...

my update took about 30 minutes...

I just looked it up and we have a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD box. I'm willing to try anything but I don't see a guide for other set top boxes.

Dang, I hate those Motorola remote delays. Have been living with them for a year or more.
Will try the second one when I get home, thanks!
