Shaw PVR830

[sty6]

Anyone have a PVR830 from Shaw?. I think it's the best out there, fast UI, rewinding and fast forwarding and the ability to add an ext drive. Just got my service going after dropping it 15 years ago. No FOX blackout to deal with here.

Thinking about getting the new 830 PVR. Currently have an optical cable input to TV for a bluetooth transmitter to wife's headphones (using TV, without a receiver only with over the air antenna). The 830 has I think an optical input. To receive sound at my wife's headphone can I still use same connection at TV or will I need to now connect to 830. The 630 does not have optical connection.

Here is a pic of the back of the 830. There is an optical output.

Thanks .... I looked closer, yes 630 does have it .... so, for me, no benefit to change .... don't need the extra storage hard drive.
