Change the Way You Watch TV

Use the Explorer® 8300HD™ Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to control live high-definition (HD) and
standard-definition (SD) TV, record TV programs without a VCR, and watch two programs at the same time.
When two of your favorite programs are scheduled at the same time, you can record one program on the
8300HD while watching the other.
With the 8300HD you can watch two programs at the same time, even if your TV does not have picture-in-
picture (PIP) capability.
Follow the instructions in this guide to install the 8300HD, to become familiar with the buttons on the front
