We are doing a survey on TV & Movie Viewing preferences. Completed surveys are entered into a drawing for an iPod Nano. Go to: www.digdia.com/survey...
I know this question is a bit off topic, but I'll ask it anyway. I'm running TWP 1.2.1 and I can't seem figure out how to stop a program from recording *while*...
Not if your not in the same town as the tivo. ;-) _____ From: hdtivo@yahoogroups.com [mailto:hdtivo@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris Musselman Sent:...
You might be able to do it using the simulated remote. However, the remote functions sometimes cause TiVoWeb to lock up, so I avoid using it. ... From: "Jon...
Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. Is there *any* way to stop a current recording? Short of telnet/reboot ;-) Maybe a telnet and command-line option? _____ ...
I was talking about the "Web Remote" module. You might be able to do it that way. Also, there's the "Screen" module. That might also work. What I'm saying...
Hi, As promised (threatened? <g>) some time ago, I took a stab at putting together a guide for transcoding HD .ty files to NTSC DVD for playback on set-top DVD...
Just curious to see if you've tried the method I posted and compared it to yours to see if there's any difference in picture quality. I've heard there may be...
Hola Cap'n, No, I haven't tried your method, mostly because I'm too lazy/cheap/dumb to pay for VideoReDo. :) Also, I like to be able to build the DVD "after...
I also don't like paying for software if I can help it but I didn't hesitate buying VideoReDo after using it for only a day. I bought it before they released...
Some thoughts on the current discussion: I like your cookbook, Jim, except for the intermediate encoding to MP4. That's an extra lossy step that I'd just as...
Probably a silly question, but I'm thinking about switching from DirecTV to cable and would like to use my HD Tivo box if possible. Anyone know if there is a...
... Nope. The DirecTivos have no encoding mechanisms at all, only satellite tuners. I expect you could probably sell the HR10-250 pretty easily. --chris...
Hi. First time poster, so pardon my ignorance. I too have been using the DirecTV Tivos for years. I've already done most of the hacks discussed on this board...
You might want to try the AVSForums for info on archiving HDTV content to D-VHS. There are also some older posts here that discuss that topic so you might...
From: captain_video2 ... Haven't tried it myself, but that's the process as I understand it. Convert .ty to .mpg with either TyTool or hdemux/mplex, edit to...
Hi. Thanks for the quick responses. IMO, It seems DVHS is a more cost effective way to archive. The plus being that you can always convert the media later from...
From: Paul Stansel ... So long as you mux with TyTool and have "fill audio holes" and "fill AC3 holes" checked, I wouldn't think audio sync would be a...
About a month and a half ago I hacked by HR10-250 using Zipper and related enhancements. Installed a bigger, 400GB hardrive. Everything was working great -- I...
... I am going to say, nope. Mine is working just fine. The first hacked drive died after about a year but I blame Western Digital not D*. But maybe you should...
I very much doubt D* sent an ECM down from the satellite. Instead, I suspect that it really did overheat. These guys get hot -- I had to rearrange my whole...
If you're just looking to archive shows and not so much looking for a format that allows you to play back the shows directly then recordable DVDs would be a...
I concur. I can't remember the last time I suffered with an out-of-sync video extracted from any of my DTivos. TyTools has matured to the point where most,...
DTV hasn't sent out any ECMs since the Hu datastream was shut down. They have no vested interest in trying to thwart anyone from hacking their HDTivos to...
Many/most of my OTA HD recordings are larger than the 4.7gb size of a standard DVD-R, and more than a few are larger than a dual layer DVD-R...which means,...
Or dual layers, but the price point on those is often still more than a DVHS tape. ... From: Christopher D. Heer <cheer@...> To: hdtivo@yahoogroups.com ...
