OK I am thinking of using a tuner that would turn it self on and off at give times and change to a given channel.
I would program the VCR to turn on and off and record a given RCA input.
Programing would not change too much per month the time to do it would not be too bad.
What about this box?
DTVPAL ATSC Digital Converter Box.
The other idea is to look into a FTA sat tuner with USB output.
Thanks

The TiVo has an IR emitter and a code for DISH so it will change channels for OTA recording on the DTV PALs and on the 811 it can record DISH SD programming along with OTA. With careful eBay shopping each pairing is $50-100, Minimum recording time 30 hours max to 120 hours with larger HD installed choice of 4 recording qualities on TiVo.
Problems:
SD only no HD on series one TiVo
Cannot automatically tune sub channels.
No description of programs no TiVo subscription fee. |
