Well, the USB port is a dud. I just tried hooking up a USB A/A cable from the SA8000 to my PC and nothing happens. Doesnt find new hardware or anything. I guess it's true that the ports are just there for looks. That totally sucks.
What I WANT to do is take all the stuff I record to the SA8000 and transfer it to my PC so I can then burn DVDs. Right now I have to do it analog by video capturing each video to my vidcap card. Would save a lot of time if I could just take the video from its hard drive and "shoot" it over to my PC... sigh... oh well. Life is never easy.
Kevin, contat Scientific Atlanta, depending on what area you are in and what system you are on the software for the usb ports may not be installed. They can probably help with that issue. Let me know how it turns out -- -Bryan Russell-AVCXpert@Everestkc.net-Audio,Video,& Communications eXpert.
