Re: Useless anyways!
said by fcisler  :My reason for wanting TiVo back in the day was to install a NIC and rip quality recordings off of the TiVo's HD. With the 8300HD and FireWire - I can do that now. Does that apply to encrypted content as well? Or does one have to "hack" the box like the old Tivos? |

| And when it start you be the first to complain about it.
How about the fact I love my mythtv box that has dual hd tuners in it. It would be nice to be able to get cable cards for my box so I can record more then the 2 channels available on my cable box.
Right now I record my locals from OTA, I would like to be able to use my myth box more as a whole house system , which killing cable cards will hurt.
This is why I am waiting on our own cable boxes with the downloadable conditional access system. I know there will be more people like myself who want more options whether it be a computer or a set top box.

All I was comparing was the fact that I DO NOT want to spend $599+ (whatever), when my DVR is around $10 a month - and if something BETTER comes out - i trade it up.
I also have a media center PC at home. The lack of true HD capturing (i know, the technical limits of capturing uncompressed HD video) makes me stick also with a DVR. Once i've recorded the shows, i can them play them back and capture then in all their HD beauty to my MCE.
Now once someone figures out how to use the firewire instead of the tuner to actually VIEW the program material (currently viewing is done via the tuner card in MCE, and when you record it uses the firewire) - i'll be set. |
