Posted on Saturday, January 08, 2011 - 08:05 GMT Any way to record from TIVO onto permanent media?
Plug a drive into small dish receiver, fill 'er up and than move the drive to my PC or MAC?
I kind of miss being able to make permanent copies of stuff, like in the old VCR days. |

No way to hook up to USB and do a 'data dump'? No way to get at the file system of the Dish box?
A DVD recorder will make an OK copy, I guess, but I'd like to go all digital if possible.
If it helps or hurts, I've got a Mac computer. |

Posted on Monday, January 10, 2011 - 19:28 GMT If the content is SD you can do it, if it's HD it can't be done. Just use a search engine and you should find what you need if it's SD. You'll have to remove the HDD, I don't think it can be done USB unless you unload it to an external HDD.
I've seen people say it looks the same PC or DVD recorder. |
