DVD burner Vs. Comcast

Hey folks.

So i picked up a new toy, Panasonic DMR-EH50. DVD burner with built in 100gb harddrive.

Anyone have any experience with this and comcast cable box?

I have it set up with S-vid from the cable box to the DVR, it is supposed (according to the manual) be able to be able to pull the programming schedule off of the comcast box.
So i had it set up and left it off overnight as per manual so it can get the info. Next day, no programming info. I hooked up the RF In from the comcast box. waiting to see if that helps.

Has anyone here had any luck getting this thing set up right? the manual totally sucks. Im thinking i might just have to run a tap off of the cable jack to the DVR without using the box.

Any help?

Thanks!

I own a Panasonic DMR EH85. It has 3 additional inputs.

I am using the Comcast(without box)in its normal Rf input it took a day to download the cable channels.

The other 3 inputs are used with...

1.The HD Comcast Cable box(records awesome to the Panasonic)
thru one input. However, you must tune the channel thru the Comcast Cable Box

2.DVD Player thru another input.(With a Macro Eliminator)

3.The last input is for my SVHS VCR
