Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2200 Digital Guide (Comcast)

This isn't what I normally upload, but I thought I should preserve it before Comcast forces us to upgrade to newer boxes or they just end up breaking. This video goes through a majority of menus and screens present in our Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2200 cable box, as well as Comcast's OnDemand service. We've had this box since 2001, though I'm not sure when its last major firmware update was. These boxes (as well as style of digital guide) are becoming more and more scarce as time goes on as Comcast will replace them for free with their newer models. Enjoy!

This is such a time capsule!!! I sometimes miss the old Comcast 💔!!! It’s a MIRACLE you’re still available to keep such an old cable box with the old look!

I Miss The Scientific Atlanta Boxes, They Used This Guide From Time Warner Cable (Later Spectrum) And Watched Nick Jr. On These Boxes From 2014 or 2015 to 2020 When Nothing Was Good On Nick Jr. Anymore, I Hope This Design Comes Back For All Devices If It Hasn't Yet, (Excluding Pluto TV)

We had several Motorola boxes from 2005-2015 that used this guide. I miss it a lot. They were so simple and easy to use. And best of all, they didn’t take an hour to start up!

[@theforthgradebros]

This video really has potential and great memories beyond it!!

[@triplectwc]

Miss this! Much more straightforward and less laggy than the current X1 garbage we were forced to “upgrade” to

[@JustJaidenism]

I never thought it was garbage or laggy.

It’s kind of sad that cable companies don’t have this UI anymore now they’re just trying to look like a streaming service 😢

[@MrVitoScaletta1945]

that Xfinity interface takes me back

[@gusterbrown]

if i had this cable box i would be in heaven lol

[@WildDiamond07]

This gives memories. I wish Comcast kept their EASyPLUS equipment but due to IPAWS and CAP, they replaced it.

[@WillOnSomething]

I'm old enough to remember when Comcast (and it's predecessors in my area... AT&T Broadband and MediaOne) was using HollyAnne EAS hardware with the famous Idea/Onics character generator.
It was that same blue "EAS Transmission" screen, and I have a lot of memories of being frightened of that screen in particular. It was in use from 1999, until around 2009/2010 when it was replaced with an EASyPLUS unit, and eventually the modern-day Monroe unit.

[@WildDiamond07]

Yeah I heard.

[@Elijahbilesthe2006guy]

I love that cable. That's original remastered.

[@mc98smusicmoviereviews93]

The guide/menu layout is soooo 2009.... but in a good way imo. Nostalgic AF for me.

[@jennifertrandafir]

26:09 Nick Mom is STILL a thing???

[@TVsFenwick]

Only as an OnDemand listing apparently. It has probably sat empty since the block dissolved 5 or so years ago. Still, I have no clue why they would keep it if it's going to stay permanently empty.

[@jennifertrandafir]

@@TVsFenwick Probably too lazy to remove it.

[@elijahtorres2688]

@@jennifertrandafir with this system being outdated, they probably forgot about it 💀!!!

[@JustJaidenism]

finally found the box by looking at guide style

[@ABCEasyas--]

This on screen guide was used since 2005 where I’m from.

[@CommanderTartar]

The UK tv provider Sky (That comcast owns) still has original 1998 digital boxes running on firmware as old as 1999

[@mtgau2000]

What type of GUI is this? I saw this at a rental house in Rehobeth Beach DE and saw this on a Scientific Atlanta Explorer8300.
