Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
The DCX3510-M set-top is equipped with an internal hard drive for DVR (Digital Video
Recorder) functionality, which 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). You may experience a slight delay when switching between time-shifted
and live TV.
The DCX3510-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 from another room in your home.
With the DCX3510-M set-top, you can:
•
Record Programming. The DCX3510-M is equipped with a 500 GB storage drive
which can record 160-300 hours of standard-definition programming, or 40 to 60
hours of high-definition programming. These capacities are based on recording digital
MPEG-2 video. A recording of a video program that is broadcast in digital MPEG-4
format requires approximately half the disk space.
•

access your library.
•

same time. You can also easily switch from viewing the prerecorded program to
either of the programs you’re recording.

integrated MoCA networking, DCX3510-M recorded entertainment can be accessed
by other compatible non-DVR set-tops with integrated MoCA, when enabled by
application software.
