After an upgrade which included using a box from Comcast, my DVR no longer receives a signal although the box feeds through it to the TV where the signal is fine. Is there a converter of some kind needed for the DVR to recognize the signal?
No Converter should be needed. Sounds like your wires are not connected right. Check your Panasonic and Comcast Manuals for correct wiring diagrams.No Converter should be needed. Sounds like your wires are not connected right. Check your Panasonic and Comcast Manuals for correct wiring diagrams.

In my area, Comcast has blocked all free watchable basic channels. You now need a very small but special box to receive those. If it's a conventional cable box, you might have to call them to send a signal to reset it.
There is no data feed in Seattle. There is no solution until June.
I just got off the phone with a woman at KCTS (Channel 9-PBS Affiliate). KCTS had the contract with Macrovision. They lost it to KIRO (Channel 7) with the digital transition. As the digital transition did not occur, KIRO's contract did not kick in, but KCTS's stopped.
No one in Seattle has picked this up.
I called KIRO's consumer line to report a problem with the service. You might want to as well to lobby them to do something before June (when, the woman at KCTS believes, the transition will occur and KIRO's contract will kick in and we'll get our guide back).
When I hooked up my HD cable box using an HDMI cable, I had to go into the cable screen menus and select HDMI output. You may have to do something similar when using an S-video cable. Your DVD recorder doesn't seem to have an HDMI input, so you'll have to use the S-video or (worst case) composite video (red, white, yellow cords). Your cable box may also be scrambling the signal so that you can't record. That may be why you can record by bypassing the cable box.
VJ-TRY RESETTING THE COMCAST RESOLUTION BY TURNING OFF YOUR CABLE BOX THEN PUHING THE CABLE BOX MENU AND YOU CAN USE THE ARROWS ON CABLE BOX TO ACCESS THE 720P AND CHANGE IT TO 1080I.JOE TV
