    Saving a program to DVD or laptop?

    I have a Vip622. I have two hard drives connected to it and I'm still running out of room. There is some stuff on there that I won't be watching any time soon, but still want to save.

    Let me know if I have this correctly. I need to only buy 2 items: 1) One barrel connector (Is there only one type of barrel connector?) 2) A long ass RG6 cable with the two connector things on each end. Do I have that correct? Does Best Buy carry these items? (Although, I'll go to Fry's if I...

    Over The Air Antenna on 622

    I have a VIP 622 HD DVR box. Is there a way I can connect my over the air antenna to it, so that my DVR can record from it? The main reason is that although I pay for my local channels, I can't get the CW HD on dish. However, I do get it with the regular over the air antenna. Is there a way I...
