That was handy to power other audio/video equipment. There is also the omission of the AC outlet that was on my previous PVR.

But if you have some old school TV hardware, you’re going to be stuck with RCA jacks and the signal quality (or lack thereof) that they provide. That may not be a big deal if you connect it via HDMI (which is what I would recommend). Speaking of apps, you can program this PVR remotely from your smartphone using the Rogers Anyplace TV Home Edition app for iOS and Android so that you don’t miss the latest episode of True Blood.Īny downsides? Well, my old PVR had more connections such as an S-Video connection that are simply absent on the NextBox 3.0.
Specifically weather, an app for my Rogers Home Phone that has call logs and controls for voice mail among other things, a search app, an app that shows different mixes of shows such as sports for example, and an app that allows me to subscribe to additional channels. My last PVR had apps that were installed on it. Changing channels is faster and navigating through the Programming Guide is faster as well. In terms of the user interface on the NextBox 3.0, there does not appear to be many changes made to the Programming Guide. Now I can never conceive of ever doing that, but the fact that I can record two or three things at the same time will keep myself and my wife happy as we won’t have to argue over what gets recorded again. That means that you can record 8 programs at the same time. One of the key features that the NextBox 3.0 has going for it is the fact that it has 8 tuners in it. My old PVR took about 20 minutes to boot. My old Rogers PVR (which was a Cisco Systems 8642HD) had 160GB of storage which worked out to about 19 hours or HD recording so the extra space is welcome. Compared to other Rogers PVRs, such as the original NextBox that this one replaced, it physically has a smaller footprint so it eats up less space in your audio/visual shelf. So, what’s a NextBox 3.0? It’s a set top box made by Cisco Systems (it’s model 9865HD) that not only allows you access to Rogers Cable TV, but it’s a 1 TB PVR.

As part of my migration of phone and Internet services to Rogers, I got an almost free Rogers NextBox 3.0 as part of the deal.
