    Is it possible to record digital OTA video?

    I meant DVD recorder too. I have no devices that use firewire, except for my TV. The only recording devices that I have are a VCR, and a DVD recorder. Just think, an entire season of CSI could fit on one BlueRay disc.

    Is it possible to record digital OTA video?

    My DVD player doesn't have any firewire. I signed up with Charter today. I will probably wait unti the price of BlueRay's come down, and get a BD recorder, or at least a BD player that records in SD.

    Is it possible to record digital OTA video?

    I think the cheapest way is to get a converter box, since I don't care too much about HD when watching recorded shows. I record tv shows so that I don't miss them. Then I erase them. I normally use a DVD recorder since it can record 6 hours, and have no problems playing back. I hear a...

    Is it possible to record digital OTA video?

    I'm no longer with a satellite company or cable company, but I post in this forum and Direct's because more people will see my thread. My TV has 2 firewire ports. Are these used to send video or recieve video? Does the DN recievers with hard drives have firewire ports?

    Is it possible to record digital OTA video?

    Yes, there is a way to record digital TV. All you need is a converter box that is ran through your recorder. The converter box could turn the digital Tv into analog. Technically, you would be recording analog signals though :)

    Thinking about cancelling

    DN resolved my complaint with the BBB and refunded me for the amounth I requested--which was about half of the cancellation fee. They cited the roof damage claim and the report of the tech. not showing up for issuing the refund.

    Is it possible to record digital OTA video?

    yeah, I was thinking I would need to buy something that has a hard drive, and uses firewire. Those firewire ports are the only video output ports I have on my TV. (I think that output video).

    Is it possible to record digital OTA video?

    Is it possible to record digital over the air tv signals using a regular vcr or dvd recorder? I tried this today with a dvd recorder, but I could not get a signal. I can use FireWire devices. I have two ports. I recently discovered these. What are the cheapest firewire devices out there?

    OTA Questions: Does digital provide a stronger signal than analog?

    Yeah, I find that I am on the fringe alot. I'm lucky to get the three or channels I get. Most people I know would be surprised, but they don't own digital tv's either. I just figured out that I have to figure out what the digital channel is before I can find it (sometimes). Most digital...

    OTA Questions: Does digital provide a stronger signal than analog?

    According to antennaweb.com, there is a TV station in Clarksville. I should get it no problem (green), but I don't. I think the apartment may be blocking alot of the signal, and I can only get what goes through the sliding glass door. Is it possible for me to mount short antennae on my...

    OTA Questions: Does digital provide a stronger signal than analog?

    I currently am getting channel 30 out of Nashville, and 25 from Madisionville, KY which does not even register on antennaweb.com I had to do some research to figure it where it was from. Currently, it seems easier for me to get channels from KY.

    OTA Questions: Does digital provide a stronger signal than analog?

    I am thinking about upgrading my analog bunny ears (electrical) to HD/Digital bunny ears antenna. Currently I get about three channels clearly. Would a digital antenna get better reception than analog, when traveling the same distance?

    Thinking about cancelling

    The manaver called the FCC today, and they told him (per his report) since they damaged the roof, then DN can be blocked from providing service to other tennants. Also, if DN refuses to take down the dish and retrieve, then the manager/owner can take it down. He said the FCC told him that it...

    Thinking about cancelling

    I would have stayed with them for years and years probably. Like I said, I am very patient with alot of businesses. If I lived in a house, things probably would have turned out different, and I would still be with dish. But has things are, I'm tired of dealing with them, so I figured the easiest...

    Thinking about cancelling

    I reported DN to the BBB. The manager or the investment company may go to the FCC because of the roof damage. The FCC has alot to do with the installation of communication equipment such as the Dish 1000. According to the manager, the roof mount was unauthorized. http://www.fcc.gov/aboutus.html

    What does the FCC have to do with Echostar Communications Corporation? The FCC regulates all the Satellite stuff in the US. The manager says that there was a cause by the roof mount because there was no pad.

    Thinking about cancelling

    I upgraded my equipment, I didn't sign up for a new account, and that's why they say I do not qualify for DHA.
