Because there is so much existing coaxial wiring installed throughout the world and wireless bandwidth is limited and expensive MoCA® is the technology that is going to propel IP to the next level. MoCA® stands for “Multimedia over Coax Alliance” and it is a new technology and protocol which will allow MoCA® enabled devices to communicate with each other in a local area network over coaxial cable at similar speeds to what currently exists with Cat5 and Cat6 lan networks. You may not have hear of MoCA® yet but you will be hearing it more and more in the coming months.

The new Motorola DCX Cable boxes will eventually be able to offer networking through existing home coaxial cabling to allow you to watch your DVR in any room on another DCX series MoCA® equipped set-top box.

The last feature included in the new Motorola DCX 3400 PVR is the one we’re most excited about but hasn’t been activated yet and that’s the optional MoCA® Home Network Interface which will allow Motorola DCX Series set-top boxes to communicate with each other for PVR anywhere and follow me TV services through existing coaxial cabling. We haven’t tested it yet but we’re wondering if a 2TB Micronet eSata external drive will also work? We expect it will however a word of caution … the larger the hard drive the more likely it is to fail especially when using it in a PVR application where it will be continuously recorded and re-recorded over and over again. We saved 45-100% over the cost of the specially branded PVR Expander. We tested an $85 dollar, MicroNet 1TB Fantom External drive with an eSata port and 1TB Western Digital HD installed inside and it worked perfectly with both the Shaw/Motorola DCT and newer DCX series of HDTV digital cable boxes. This means you don’t have to buy the special “PVR Expander Hard Drive” at a premium price but any Western Digital External Drive with an eSata port will also work and cost substantially less. Now here’s your money saving tip! While Shaw, Future Shop and Best Buy all sell dedicated, branded 1TB hard drives labeled PVR Expander’s for $150-$200 dollars what they don’t tell you is that these so called PVR Expander hard drives are just Western Digital Branded drives and that any external eSata hard drive enclosure which has a Western Digital brand hard drive enclosed will work and interface with a Shaw/Motorola digital cable box.
If that’s not enough space for you the DCX 3400 has an eSata port which will allow you to connect an external 1TB eSata Hard Drive expanding the recording capacity to 200-240 hours of HD recording. The built is 500GB Hard drive is a great improvement over the 160GB hard drive found in the previous DCT models and will allow you to record 60-80 hours of HD content.

This means that the DCX3400 will support for both 2-D and 3-D TV, Dolby Digital and Digital PLUS audio and automatic video formatting for 480i/p all the way up to 1080i/p via HDMI. The new DCX 3400 set-top boxes also decodes both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC services while the DCT predecessor only handles MPEG-2. The DCX 3400 is a lot faster than the previous DCT Series cable boxes thanks to increased processor power, additional flash and S-DRAM.
The Motorola DCX 3400 HDTV PVR set top box is a dual tuner cable box with a built in 500GB hard drive.
