OR how do all of you record and save HD content for later storage.
is there a way to record the stream and save it to a PC
Im getting an HR23 soon
I have no idea what "Daves steam" is, but you can record any programs and watch later (the HR23 will record up to 100 hours of HD, more of SD). PPV is limited to viewing within 24 hours. With the Directv2PC program, you can watch any of the recorded programming on a PC, but cannot save it to the PC.
You don't have to view a PPV movie within 24 hours of recording it.
Once you start watching a PPV movie you have to finish watching it within 24 hours.
You can't start it one day then watch the rest of the movie 2 days later.
I've had PPV movies on the list waiting to be watched for days and weeks before I got around to watching them. I think the PPV movie will be removed from the list if you haven't started watchig it with 30 days.
You don't get charged for it until you start to watch it and it asks - Do you really want to watch this for $5.99(or whatever $$) ?
Does an excellent job! Only PPV I've touched since they implemented the 24 hour rule was Caprica on 1080p VOD...HD PVR Product overview
Great option, simply known as the Hauppauge, HD capture via the component port.
