Motorola DCT2000 - RF Return Path working?



Greetings everyone:

I have a question on the RF Return on the Motorola DCT2000 
(DCT2244/ABCDEFG) which has both the StarVue II RF Return as well as a 
telco return option. I remember before this monday when the network was 
rebuilt on Comcast (former AT&T/TCI/Viacom) area, the setup menu 
configuration shows the return path as Telco, now it shows up as RF Return 
after the new network is launched. However, on the DCT 2000 Diagnostics 
screen - 09 Upstream Modem shows the following:

STARVUE II DIAGNOSTICS

STATUS : -
FREQUENCY : 11.552Mhz
LEVEL : 25
IPPV : ENABLED

LAST POLL REQ : 48
11-25-2003 07:43:11
LAST POLL ACK : 75
11-27-2003 09:26:11

Am I reading this correctly that the RF Return is working, the way my cable 
box is hooked up is that:

Wall -> Input A on Mitsubitshi HSU-70 SVHS VCR -> Loop-thru -> Motorola 
DCT2000 -> Input B on Mitsubitshi HSU-70 SVHS VCR -> Pioneer PDP4330HD 
Plasma TV Media Receiver? Since is basically the LAST POLL REQ when the 
headend last polled the box and LAST POLL ACK is when it last responded?  
Also, another question is I noticed the time seems to always be a future 
time/date - is it just using the Greenwhich Mean Time (GMT) instead of 
Pacific Standard Time GMT -8?  Thanks.

John
