Identify Your 8300
Use the Explorer® 8300™ Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to control live 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
8300 while watching the other.
With the 8300 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 8300, to become familiar with the buttons on the front
panel and to access your cable services. Then, enjoy the features of the 8300 and change the way you
watch TV!
