I have a DishNetwork 942 DVR Receiver that I can hook up to my 2 HDTV Plasma TV's for HighDef(HD) or StdDef (SD) viewing.
What I want to try to do is connect the Humax -Tivo DRT800 DVR-DVD with the Dish 942 so that I can choose to record shows to either the Dish 942 or the Humax DRT800. With this capability, I can then record SD shows directly to the Humax DVR-DVR and then 'burn' the show directly to a DVD (Dish 942 does not have burning capability) from the Humax.
Humax said the DRT800 was compatible with the Dish 942, but I would have to record shows and burn DVDs directly from the Huma
and I would need the Tivo service to do this). They said I could not burn recorded shows that reside on the Dish 942, nor could I transfer shows from Dish 942 to the Humax for DVD burning.
1) Is there a way to hookup these 2 DVR's together so that I can manually 'seperate' each and/or select which DVR I want to record a show on?
If this is doable, I can then use the Humax to burn DVDs and also use it as my main DVD/CD and MP3 player and use the Dish 942 as my main DVR for recording shows that I dont need to burn DVD's for.
Thanks for your help!
