Hack comcast garden wall

It also comes with hd coax hdmi cord and the new hd remote. Comcast is now charging way more for the dvr boxes than before. Does anyone know about that? The price went up so much we are getting rid of most of our boxes now! I guess they want less customers who will pay more than more customers. It is probably illegal.

One home tech person said Comcast does not support Closed Captioning on the X1, period. A Someone or something a program at the server level is playing around. OR C Someone hacked into the cable and is playing around with our X1 units. FF 5 minutes and FF ends only after hitting the end at 60 minutes. The same happens with the Rewind going all the way to be beginning. Per the home techs each of the X1 hubs has it own Internet Modem. Given my recordings simply are disappearing, maybe its hacking by a 12 year old neighbor kid.

I hear the X2 is coming and it is even more cloud based then the X1. I hope it means more security and reliability than the X1. In this household we used on the Comcast grey boxes the freeze frame a lot! Not only do you get to look at the action yourself, but you can look at it as a ref would during say a video call e.

US football. I used to use freeze frame and its advance frame by frame to look at sneakers. The X1 DVR has several issues in this regards, such as:. By acting funny, I mean when trying to start a recording, the DVR page will come up and hang. I used Freeze Frame and its advance frame by frame to:.

This created issues because Crays supported swapping and not paging as most UNIX based computers at the time supported. We solved the problem by coming up with a foreground processor. Comcast could do the same by buffering data in the X1 or X2 and then allowing the local machine to perform functions without always communicating with the cloud server.

Great conversation, PrisonGuy. I could see them putting a small amount of local storage for a short-term buffer. I think the cloud has limited benefit when it comes to DVR. If you put in good place-shifting like SlingBox and good local storage, you meet the needs of most people. Unfortunately, for business reasons, cable companies are going to push the cloud DVR on consumers. The business reasons are to lock people in and tie people to monthly subscriptions.

Sorry to say but most of your comments are of no use and they are not secrets its all public info u can find rite on any Comcast site but keep trying. I refurbish cable boxes for a living. Btw, cable boxes come with a multitude of identificatiin features.

Make sure you get one with a cable card.. Also, cable companies want to profit roughly 10k per box. Motorola makes tpr most common ones, and trust me, tbsp are pretty easy to fix. The common problems vary between different boxes. DVR devices are garbage. I recommend a VCR with a timer. Good luck on your quest. Send me model numbers, unit addresses, host serial numbers, and mcard unit addresses if you have questions.

It is the chip with the heat sink right above. If you do get one, it has either been refurbished or it will get refurbished. If any of the problems are from that chip, I put flux on, take the heat gun at and reflow the chip back on with pressure from a nut driver. Where is that 10k going.? Not worth it. All providers Viacom, Fox, Disey, Scripps, etc deliver their feeds via satellite, which in turn are downloaded in Denver, CO, and then uplinked back again for distribution to local headends, the cable portion is from your local headend to a node near your home.

Funny how in America the internet prices stinks and the service and speeds sucks balls and yet we tell other countries what to do… here at home basic shit is broken!

After a 4 day power outtage, they unregistered my modem and now are having a hella of a time trying to get it back on line, the most retarded company ever!!!! I have the newer X5 remote. I can get the configuration menu, but not the menu I need to check.

I have a basic Comcast cable box and internet service that I pay for thru my condo fee. The previous owner of this condo left her hd Comcast box and remote. If I replace my basic box with the hd box would Comcast be able to tell.

If I went thru Comcast I would have to pay an additional charge for an hd box. Thank you. Comcast took my remarks that I said to their machine, and put in on my other telephone landline with them being the carrier. And the message that I said was on my answer machine that they control. It seems like revenge for what I said to them. Does anyone know how to hack a Motorola dct box so you can watch all of the premium channels for free?

And by the way I have comcast cable no HD service. Stay away from X1 platform anywhere dvr. This means you will on ever be given boxes that can communicate and RELY on the first box to operate.

If the DVR loses power you cant watch tv on any other box. I had this issue. I also was experiencing increased ping when connecting to online game servers. Forget FPS at this point. I also have reduced my cable bill and looked into buying a cable box. One of the secrets was that you can't buy a cable box. They hook you into renting it, month after […].

I asked how I go about getting one and what the upgrade fee would be. He said that you just had to be lucky, its the same cost as the other DVR. I thought there was legislation that made it a requirement for cable operators to sell the boxes instead of renting them. The technician mentioned that I could get a Tivo and use a CableCard. That would lock me into Tivo fees though. Comcast will have be experiencing Sun Outages soon — While I was waiting to tell Comcast my problem with the service, a recording mentioned that there are planned solar outages.

This struck me as odd because Comcast is a cable service not satellite. However, in thinking about it in more detail, the stations are routinely broadcast by satellite. There are two pieces, one containing a magnet and the other metal, or another magnet.

When a door or window opens, the pieces separate and an alarm goes off if the system is armed. Just to make sure, Bosco then brought the separated sensor over to the XFINITY Home hub and unwrapped the tinfoil, permitting the hub and sensor to try to re-establish wireless contact a few inches apart. Nothing happened, at least not right away. According to Beardsley, it took the system "from several minutes to up to three hours" to notice that the transmitter-equipped part of the door-and-window sensor had been separated from its other half.

Several minutes would let a skilled team of burglars go through a house, provided the homeowner hadn't sprung for the more expensive of the two XFINITY Home packages, which includes motion-sensing cameras. It might be tricky to open a window while simultaneously and successfully slipping tinfoil, or a Faraday bag of the sort that computer components ship in, over a sensor to prevent it from transmitting back to its hub.

It's easier to instead use a portable radio-frequency jammer to block the wireless signal. The jammer might also work on the motion-sensitive cameras, but Rapid 7 didn't test those. Jammers are illegal in the United States, but can be built at home from instructions found online. Photograph by Tom Kubik for Gardenista. Search for:.
