Re: Web DVR Information
Bad News!
My hunch was correct!
You NEED BOTH the IO cable service AND Optimum Online to use the WebDVR function.
You need BOTH.
So for everybody that has a DVR and just IO cable. This WebDVR will NOT WORK.
This stinks.
So everybody that is saying it's not in their area yet. Your wrong. It is in your area. I called to confirm this. You need both services.

Incorrect. Even if you need both, it doesn't mean it's rolled out everywhere. I have both and do not have the feature yet.

Regardless.
You NEED both services.
I was talking about NJ.
And the guy said it will be rolling out everywhere very soon.
Bottom line is that your in luck. You WILL be able to use the service.
Me on the other hand can't. No matter where I live.

From »www.optimum.com/io/dvr/index.jsp
"Store up to 100 hours of Standard Definition Television programming and 24 hours of HD programming!"
You can however, add an external hard drive which would give you more space.

Re: Web DVR Information
So on this entire thread, I'm the ONLY one that is upset that you NEED both IO & Optimum Onlines Services to use this WebTV?
No one here sees the problem with this?
Anyone care to explain to me how you need the Optimum Online Service, because it makes ZERO technical sense.
If you can access ANY computer AND register (free to any Cablevision customer - using your account # and making a user ID) to pay your bills & such. Then why can't you use this service?
From any computer you program the WebTV tool. Then it goes to Cablevision, THEN Cablevision sends the signal to your DVR.
Your computer doesn't directly control you DVR. Cablevision does. Its just like calling up for Pay Per View. Your use your phone & Cablevision does the rest from their offices. You go thru them.
So I ask why do you need the Online Service. Its not like your modem at home talks to your DVR. The commands are ALL coming from Cablevision offices/centers. to your DVR set top box.

What's so hard to understand? It's a value added benefit to those who subscribe to both. Sort of like how triple play users get the Optimum Rewards Card and Caller ID on the TV.
Could they let non-OOL users have it? Sure, but it sure gives customers an incentive to stick with or to switch to OOL if this is a 'must-have' feature for someone.

I can understand why you are upset, but I an also understand why, as a company, we are only rolling it out to those who subscribe to multiple services.

The service is going to follow the phased roll out Cablevision is famous for. New Jersey customers should be live as of 8/6. NYC, Westchester and Connecticut should be able to access the service by 8/18. Long Island is going to have to wait until 9/1.

roll out schedule isnt fully correct...All of NJ isn't live. NYC West Chester should be 2 weeks longer than the 18th. And Long Island is correct date. EVERYTHING should be fully implemented on 9/1. There may be straggling areas though...

The Web interface allows searches, now I don't have the DVR interface yet so I didn't answer his question since I don't know for sure how it will interact with the DVR. I see no reason someone can not easily do a search and use that to add the program but until I have the interface I can not be sure.
Maybe someone that has the DVR interface can do a keyword search and tell us how it works with the DVR.

I have also noticed the following changes since the DVR update for the Web DVR tool:
1. The new channel guide data is downloaded each night without me forcing it. No more - "Data loading - please wait" or " No data available".
2. While you are watching a program press "C" on the DVR remote. A new menu bar will pop up and you can scroll left or right with about 6-7 options to pick from. The ones that I remember are:
top picks - PPV movie info
coming soon - PPV movie info
local - news, traffic and weather on the bottom of your screen as you watch your program.

One step backward - the Web DVR feature is not available for the next week.

I just spoke to a Cable Vision Rep (Aug. 23, 2009 at 4:45pm) this service will not be available until Aug. 27, 2009 in the Brooklyn area, he said some parts of NJ are working, the reason for the delay is because the movement of the HD channels line up, cable vision also added a portal, by pressing the C on your remote a small menu will come on the bottom of your TV screen and you will be able select what option you want to see, but this has nothing to do with the web based DVR recording schedule.

Yes that is the right place. When I click the link there is a DVR tab on the page. Using the DVR webapp I have been able to schedule a recording and cancel an existing scheduled recording. The only thing I haven't been able to do is delete content from the DVR.
One nice feature with the webapp is when you select a show to record you have the option of adding a few minutes to the start/end times for the show! No more missing a few minutes of the show you want to record because American Idol (or whatever) runs long.

Everyone is different, for me it is great. I'm on the computer all day. I have no reason to log out of the OOL website, since if someone had access to my computer they could read the mail via my client. I have a bookmark to go directly to the listing, I can scroll through them easier via the web interface, search for shows and lastly the DVR is not where my computer is located. All of this makes it much easier for me to program through the web interface then through the DVR.

It's great if you are on the road a lot or work late. Last week I was in San Diego and remembered I wanted to see Michael Vick's return and was able to program it for the Eagles game in no time. I was in the air during the game so by the time I returned it was all recorded and ready to go.
I don't think it is meant to replace using the guide when you are in front of the TV, but when not home it is great.

We went away on holidays and I forgot to cancel a few scheduled recordings and came back to 95 episodes of Stargate SG-1 and 50 episodes of House... Anyone that has had to delete multiple recordings at once should appreciate this feature (once it works).
And searching the TV listings online is also WAAAY better than the lame search feature on the interactive guide.

I don't think there's been an actual release date, has there? I mean there's been posts by people 'in the know' at Cablevision, but, since there hasn't been an "official" press release or anything yet, give em a chance. That's probably why they launch stuff in different areas at different times. Work out the bugs, get it working, etc. I am sure once it is fully deployed in all areas it will work. There's obviously going to be some bugs to work out, but you can't really complain about a feature that's not really official yet in my opinion.
Look at the new webmail interface. It worked for what, two days before it disappeared?

Not surprising at all. For me, the Web DVR Scheduler is a thing of myth at this point, only spoken of in hushed tones by those whose credibility is somewhere below that of those who claim to have sighted the Loch Ness monster. The screenshots? Fabricated using Photoshop. The discussion? Rantings of crazy people. Maybe there will be some real evidence by October. Of 2011. And then maybe, maybe it'll be made available a few years later.
Of course, by that time, I'll have FiOS anyway.

Call to support got it working for me.
For a few weeks, I've had the DVR tab goes to home page issue. (I'm in Northern Westchester). Yesterday, I called. 45 minutes on the phone. got connected to a second level person who used screen sharing to convince himself that what I reported was true. He fiddled, then said he needed to escalate. Asked for my primary account password. So I changed it and gave him a temp password.
Maybe a co-incidence? But this morning it works! Yeh. It's really a great feature to be able to use the on line guide and schedule recording.
I have two DVR's, and even that works!
Good stuff.
One curiosity. It thinks the controlling account is not my OOL primary, but a UID which is both a secondary email and my cablevision account. Have no idea what's going on, but I had to log in to that account to activate. The activation with another account didn't stick.

Web DVR isn't working for me even though it finally looks like it's been activated for my account. I can see both DVRs, I can see what programs are on them and what's scheduled to be recorded.
I go to the online guide at optimum.net, I pull up a show, when the box pops up, it says Record to iO DVR, tells me what users can do with the remote dvr and has a box to Accept Terms of Use.
I click that to accept and click yes to Want to Opt in. After a few seconds, the exact same screen comes back.
I do have cookies locked down pretty good (though I allow cookies for the optimum.net domain) and I tried in both FF, Opera and IE.

Re: Web DVR Information
They should all be able to change the DVR but there are 2 different places that effect which IDs are allowed. Under TV listing there is a setting for Administrative Access, which I believe is which ID can change the "Online Preferences". Under the DVR tab there is a setting for who can control the DVR programs under "Online Preferences", you can also change the name for the DVR in that section. My primary ID is not listed under "Online Preferences" but it can control the DVR, so I assume it should be able to control it by default. I am not sure what happened in your case.

I activated my single box without turning it on. Still a little flakey, maybe.

Re: Web DVR Information
If any of you are testing Firefox 3.7a1pre (aka Minefield) does the Web DVR stuff work for you? I can't see any recordings or scheduled recordings. Namoroka 3.6b1pre works fine as well as FF 3.5.
Thanks

It either loops back to the home page or when I go to terms of service there is no place to accept and activate. I've tried in Firefox and IE.

If it's still not working, I'd contact CV via direct forum or call in, as something may need to be updated or fixed on your account specifically.
It works great for me, too.

I've tried rebooting my box and to activate when it's on - no dice. Maybe I'll call in one of these days.

We are all anonymous. After all this is an internet forum. I don't know who you are either. I really think it must be something you are doing wrong. Have you checked your browser settings: pop up blocker / cookies ?

Probably nothing. More than a couple of people having the same problem.
I know, at least with the problems I'm having, that I'm not doing anything wrong.

Re: Web DVR Information
I'm a network / pc tech who has tried to get this to work using IE, Firefox, Safari, and Opera I've tried from 3 different computers and via 3 different ISP's. When I called cablevision, the support person tried with my id from the cablevision office and could not access this feature. So anyone who can not access should contact Cablevision support and ask them to do something about this. And those individuals here who can use this feature, should not assume user error for those who can not. Its a new service and its implementation is buggy.

Re: Web DVR Information
After they website issue is fixed and you can log in and set the changes, power cycle your DVR box or boxes for a couple seconds[default 10] and and it should work. If you have any issues with it, power cycle the boxes and it should clear it up. Apparently the online dvr "can't communicate with the box"

I did nothing wrong and it still does not work. Tried on 5 different isp's (3 being ool) with a minimum of 7 different pc's. Still wanna think it's me doing something wrong?
IE 6 - 7 - 8
windows xp - vista - 7
os x 10.1
latest os x
just plain doesn't work for me....could be my account, my cable box...no clue. I'm absolutely positively sure its nothing I'm doing wrong. Thanks for calling me an idiot....

I still have to click that Activate button each time I come back to that DVR screen.
You'd think they could have fixed that by now.
Anyone tried this from a mobile browser? Looks like the pages are very "heavy" and probably wouldn't work great with most mobile browsers.

Yes, that ability was removed for some reason. On top of that, if you already had remove channels, it didn't default back to all channels. You have no way to add those channels back.

Re: Web DVR Information
The mobile link is:
»m.optimum.net
The options are:
E-Mail
DVR
Search
Weather
Traffic
Movies
As you can see there is not an option for TV listings. The options in the DVR link are:
Find Programs to Record
Recorded Programs
Scheduled Recordings
You must first search for a program using "Find Programs to Record" and then schedule a recording. You can't view all shows at a particular time and schedule a recording.

from another thread on the guide, it works:
While you're in the TV Listings page, click on Settings. Click the name of the account that you're currently logged in, turn on Parental Controls, and click Edit next to Channels. Select all of the channels you don't want the TV Listings to show and click the Save button. And you're done.
