If you have a HD STB, especially the Motorolas, you can hook up your PC via firewire to the box and record TV using that. The only channels guaranteed to work are the broadcast channels, but others MAY work. I just got the firewire cable I needed today so I could play with it. I have successfully recorded ESPN2HD, INHD, INHD2, ABCHD, NBCHD, CBSHD, CWHD, and UPNHD.
A couple of the SD channels I tried didn't work, like the Military Channel, and National Geographic. ESPNHD is also encrypted.
stb? What is that? I have the MOXI upstairs and a regular box downstairs. ???
Set Top Box. I'd say your MOXI has the firewire outs that I am talking about. All you need is 1)a firewire port on your computer 2)the drivers for the box, I can send you the link if you're interested.
Pretty neat, you can change the channel on the box via computer and then record the program. I'm surprised the open-source development of this hasn't gotten further in the last few years to bring the whole thing together in one package, but it is still a neat thing to use.
For you, your DVD-R may still be your best option due to ease of use.
sure, send me the link. I'll look to see if I have a firewire port on the box. I don't remember seeing it.Set Top Box. I'd say your MOXI has the firewire outs that I am talking about.
