Currently we are tied to the Comcast email system (big mistake...), no splitters other then the original Comcast equipment in the box in the garage. The phone and internet service continued to work all the time with the DVR was out. The other 3 TVs (with the small non HD converters) continued to work.
It appears either the Comcast Xfinity servers were having problems, or my DVR is having problems. According to Comcast they remotely looked at my DVR and it was operating correctly, even had them look a second time when the TV screen was frozen, no errors..... So my question aimed at seeing if others were having problems with the servers.
Thank yo to all who replied. I did ask for a follow-up call from Comcast, if I ever get it I will post what they tell me.
