Scientific-Atlanta’s Explorer 8300 Multi-Room DVR Review
Posted by admin on March 20, 2005 – 4:45 pm
This is what I've been waiting for. The Scientific-atlanta's Explorer 8300 is your typical dual tuner DVR with a major difference (if you have Time Warner Cable). You can stream recording to other rooms of the house. According to YahooNews:
The multi-room DVR is a two-tuner DVR and cable box in one with an internal hard drive that holds about 50 hours of programming. It uses a home's existing cable system to communicate with smaller set-top boxes attached to the other TVs in the house. From the other TVs, I can either watch live TV or play back a recorded program.
Currently the service is only available with Time Warner Cable but we'll keep our fingers crossed that other cable companies realize that multi-room DVRs are a really cool thing.

I’m a Time-Warner customer in Cincinnati & I have the 8300hd… can it do multiroom streaming or do I need a different box?
