DVR Chatter

Well, that's a little upsetting.  What INHD shows?  If it was Game of the Week or a movie, I get it. 

I don't think I've ever been able to dump a SD digital program via Firewire.  Now that all the channels are Simulcast, I suspect that extends to pretty much everything.

It seems pretty random on INHD.   The show I was trying to dump was called Bike Battle or something like that about urban mountain bikers.  It's been on many times over the last year so not exactly cutting edge content.  But this morning when I was testing different channels and shows and a show about ice skaters racing down a course on INHD did not have the 5c turned on.  HBOHD definitely had it turned on.  I think my firmware is like 9.19?  Does that sound right?  Don't know if it is a firmware thing.  I'm sure Comcast will implementing this elsewhere.  My brother-in-law works for Cox and he was surprised that Comcast had not turned on 5c when I first got the hddvr last winter.  According to him, Cox has it turned on for most stuff.  I guess I shouldn't worry about it.  Most of the time I compress the shows way down anyway so I'll just hook up an svideo cable and that will be fine.  But it sure was cool to create a dvd from hd content.

I can still dump everything by firewire to my D-VHS, except On Demand.  This includes all channels, HD & SD.

Your D-VHS recorder is a 5C compliant device, while the rigged up HTPC method via Firewire isn't.

thanks for the clarification, I do forget that fact sometimes.
