Revision as of 15:47, 14 March 2006 by 204.149.80.6 (talk) (→Online Discussion Forums)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Motorola 3412 (full name is Motorola DCT-3412) is a digital-tuner only version of the Motorola 6412. It is similar to the 6412 Phase III, except that it is unable to tune in analog channels. It is only used on systems that have analog-digital simulcasting (ADS) active. It is about the same width and height as the 6412, but is not as deep (about 11 inches, versus 13 inches on the 6412).
The unit can record two SD digital or HDTV channels at once and play back a recorded show at the same time. The 3412 has a 120 GB hard drive giving it an HDTV recording time of 12-20 hours and much more for analog or standard definition digital TV. There may also be some 3416 models with have 160GB drives.
Features
The 3412 has the same features, and most of the same bugs, as the 6412. Please see the Motorola 6412 page.
