The azbox plays high bit rates fine so I just use a separate DVD recorder/hard drive
What kind of input does your separate recorder have? Ie does it record HD?
I'm also curious relative to the new breed of TIVOs. I have 3 old SA TIVOs for SD stuff, but would like TIVO capability on HD, but the last time I checked, I didn't think the HD TIVOs would take any kind of an HD input that I could send it, ie either a network stream, component or HDMI. I think they only work off OTA ATSC signals or something like that.
Does anyone know of any device that will give TIVO PVR capability from a high bitrate HD FTA satellite receiver.
This is the first year in years that I think I'm going to be forced to revert to the NFL Sunday Ticket, instead of watching sat feeds. I can still *WATCH* the sat feeds, but I can't delay them to sync with home team radio off Sirius. In past years, before things were in 4.2.2, I could delay a stream to a Roku or PopcornHour, but I can't stream high bitrate 4.2.2, so I'm stuck with using a TIVO on the SD Sunday Ticket signal (ie I'd rather watch SD with local audio than watch HD with those network idiots on audio).
I keep hoping that new Azbox firmware will come out that will permit me to delay video/ record high bitrate, but that doesn't seem likely in the near future.
