So the "Live" sporting events go on the DVR without ideal compression, and when I try to record them onto DVDs, the issue surfaces .... ok, thanks for that tidbit of information, that makes sense. I'm thinking about to trying the Hauppauge HD PVR (which has component in). Sounds like that...

Thanks texasbrit ... there is something different about HD football/basketball games vs the Cartoon Network's "Clone Wars". The Clone Wars (for my kids ;o) ) records fantastic from HD to SD ... sporting events don't, and I have no idea why. The quality of those isn't even close to being good.

My recorder doesn't have component inputs (not many do from what I have seen), so unfortunetly that won't work for me ... thanks for the response.

as in when I try to record an HD program on a non-HD DVD recorder (to "down convert" to 480i). For now, I just want to get a really good SD recording to play on standard DVD players. Is there a way to do this? My experience is that the HD shows (football games) don't record very well even...

Thanks, I just found some other articles on this thing ... how do you "cut out comercials"? One thing I read said you cannot "time shift" or "remove comercials" (perhaps this is just in real time (i.e. no pause button when I'm doing a recording)).

Can you burn to DVD-R DL or DVD+R DL format? Thanks in advance, I've been looking for a solution to burning my HD football games (on my Direct TV DVR) onto DVD for some time now ...

Because I cannot find them I said they must be "pretty rare" ... maybe they don't even exist? That could be ...

Yes, standalone recorder (not a PC). Would love to use dual layer double sided DVDs but looks like those are pretty rare.

I said "dual" in the title, maybe "double" is the better term ... What do you guys recommend? I haven't used the DVD DL format before, so need some advice ... Thanks in advance!

Now in 2009, I'm finally in the market to get a new HD recorder to transfer my HD recordings from by HD DVR. What is the latest and greatest recommendations? I'm not sure I want to try a blu-ray recorder just yet, I recorded "Star Wars the Clone Wars" HD TV show for my kids and transfered...

"besides like you said you ain't saving $$$ monthly. plus even if you don't have the protection plan like me since the receiver or dvr is leased they replace it for free in case it fails on you. you would only have to pay for the shipping. i don't see any benefit to owning except paying more...

I verified I could use my current DVD recorder to record off of the HR21, so at least that works .... phew ;o)

So, just so I'm clear on this .. anything I record on my HR21 cannot be recorded onto a DVD? Or is it just the newer DVD recorders that have the blocking software? Thanks in advance!

"Unfortunately, if he can't get a good OTA signal, (which is always possible) he's SOL on that front..." Exactly ... I could get Fox and NBC in HD with an OTA antenna, but with cable, I can get ABC, CBS, and PBS also. Most of the games I want to see/record are on ABC. Another question ...

Thanks guys ... yes, the reason I stayed away from the DirecTV DVR was the local HD channels not being supported (need to input cable). "Perhaps a little more research might be prudent before spending hundreds of dollars on a DVR that's usless for some of your HD prog - the HD Tivo's DO...

I didn't notice the limited inputs on the TivoHD I just bought (only has 2 coax inputs for "cable" and "OTA"). Am I screwed or is there a way to connect the DirecTV HD reciever to this thing? What are my options? Thanks in advance! Ultimately, I want to plug in basic cable (to get my...

Yes! I need to know what the Big Ten Network HD channel is and VS HD channel) (by 11am central please, that is when the games start :) JK). Thanks for the info!

Well, I've got 2 different answers as well. I emailed D* and they said the suspened time does NOT count toward your contract (it suspends as well, and you have to make up that time). When I ordered D* a couple days ago, the guy on the phone told me the clock keeps ticking on the contract even...

Is there any decent Software out there that could bridge this gap? Thanks for the input, I appreciate it! They run a great site here ... l

I did a search and got this hit from about 1 year ago ... is there currently any viable HD DVD recorders out there? Tell me how you guys are burning HD DVDs ... Link: http://www.satelliteguys.us/hd-dvd-blu-ray-war-zone/72314-toshiba-rd-a1-goes-sale-japan.html

To answer a few questions: 1) Yes, I have tried the 4:3 so it isn't as "streatched", doesn't help. 2) No to the question about Dish being the only Digital experience for this new TV. I subscribe to basic cable (not paying for digitial nor HD channels) because of high speed internet they...

Thanks Tom, yes, I have seen a very decent SD signal through cable actaully, so I still think it is an issue with Dish or the 625. There are levels of "bad picture" and ESPN and ESPN2 via Dish (or via Dish + 625) are really bad, not even close in quality to some other SD channels I get (goes...

JamesThurber, thanks for that tidbit ... I tried using the coax from the 625 to the TV's coax in, no difference. I may have flipped the DNIE on ;o) ... I was trying lots of things (but I'm pretty sure it didn't make any difference ... I'll go back and make sure that is off now).

"Use it as intended and you will be thrilled" ... you obviously aren't in marketing ;o) ... you might actually tell real customers the truth. My bad for not knowing all the intricacies of SD and HD and the quality differential (I knew there was obviously going to be a difference, but the...

ha! ... "anyhow why have an hdtv and not use it for its intention." Oh I intend to use HD, but when 90% of the sporting events I want to watch are NOT broadcast in HD, i really cannot use it ;o) This is disappointing, and probably will push me back to cable after my contract is up (right...
