What NextBox 3?

It’s a set top box made by Cisco Systems (it’s model 9865HD) that not only allows you access to Rogers Cable TV, but it’s a 1 TB PVR. That’s roughly 120 hours of storage.

Is it worth it to get NextBox 3.0?

So if you ever notice that strange recordings are appearing on your Rogers PVR it might not be that it is malfunctioning, it may just be that someone else is accessing your box using their computer or phone. Overall, I would say that it is definitely worth it to give the Nextbox 3.0 a try.

Is there a user manual for NextBox 9865 HD?

I recently got Nextbox 9865 HD and trying to locate a comprehensive user manual for this particular box. Rogers did not include any manual with this box so i turned to Cisco web site. A search for 9865 box only shows a satellite version of receiver with 6 tuners. There is no documentation on Cisco web-site regarding cable box 9865 with 8 tuners.

Are there any problems with Rogers NextBox 3.0?

I am now 2 weeks into using the Nextbox 3.0 and have no problems to report with its performance. One problem that I do have is with its remote programming using the Rogers Anyplace TV application. This is a great feature that allows you to schedule recordings on your PVR from anywhere using your computer or smartphone.

How long does it take for NextBox to start up?

Well, I was pleasantly surprised, as soon as I plugged it in it showed signs of life. As has been noted by other reviewers the start up took about 5 minutes compared to 20 minutes for previous models. I also found that it was much more responsive than the Nextbox 2.0.
