DVR for FTA
|
Bronze Member Username: Angelo921Post Number: 23 Registered: Apr-07 | I recently switched over to FTA from cable tv. With cable tv I had a DVR cable box which allowed me to tape programs directly onto the box. I currently have the Pansat 2700 with FTA. I know this box does not allow me to do that but is there anything else I can buy as an add on that will enable me to tape shows other then a VCR? thanks Angelo |

Bronze Member Username: Angelo921Post Number: 41 Registered: Apr-07 | thanks everyone for your suggestions. It would be awesome if there was something sort of like a USB drive that would plug directly to your tv and you can save recorded shows and movies onto there directly. I say this because my HDTV does have a USB slot which I use that for listening to mp3's which I saved onto the USB drive from my pc. |

Bronze Member Username: Angelo921Post Number: 43 Registered: Apr-07 | So your saying by plugging on of these into the USB of the tv it can tape directly from a Pansat 2700 and it can be played back on the tv? If so which one do you recommend? |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1155 Registered: Oct-06 | No These are playback only (like DVD players) You can download movies from various sites DIVX rentals or your computer using (hack utilities) or clear downloads via USB cord. Apple MAC also got these players called i-TV $300 with their software you can download to it. Right now the hottest electronics in the market is MP3/MP4 players along with HDTVs. Market is taking a huge shift from traditional recording to download age. It is good to take part of this transition. I will ask Admin to have a forum on MP3/MP4 players |

Bronze Member Username: SitsatPost Number: 79 Registered: Jun-06 | Enas, is this what you are looking for? Ebay also have another ones where you can connect an external hard drive of your own to record from TV or PC and playback on both for less than $100 bucks(because you are buying your own hard drive) here is the link. Just delete the space after ebay. http://cgi.ebay .com/MEDIAGATE-MG-25P-USB-2-0-DIVX-PLAYER-120GB-HARD-DRIVE_W0QQitemZ190110797173 QQihZ009QQcategoryZ15055QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |
