Scientific Atlanta at CES 2007
Scientific Atlanta, a Cisco company, will be much in evidence at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Scientific Atlanta gear will be a key part of The Connected Home, Cisco’s evolving vision to provider consumers at home access to all types of content (premium video, photos, music, data, voice and home video) on televisions, personal computers, cell phones and mobile devices.
Scientific Atlanta will also demonstrate Direct to Disc. This product concept will enable consumers to purchase on-demand video, music or software from their service provider and then--using Scientific Atlanta’s DVR with built-in DVD set-top--record the content to a disc.
Separable Security Technologies
A full suite of products to help enable cable operators to meet the FCC “707” separable security mandate will also be demonstrated at CES 2007. Such products include Scientific Atlanta’s Multi-Stream CableCARDâ„¢ and a range of set-tops, from standard-definition digital-only to dual-tuner high-definition (HD) DVRs.

I presume that if I were taking a month-long vacation, you would recommend that I remove power from my modem, which I am using for the high speed internet service of my cable TV company. I also presume that if I were merely adjusting my radio’s volume, between downloads on my computer, you would recommend that I leave the modem running.
In the vast middle ground, between those two extremes, can you give me some guidelines as to when it’s a good idea to power-down my modem. I’m not talking about power consumption; merely about wear and tear on the WebStar DPC2100.
