Brand new to digital cable, HD. Got my SA8300 DVR installed yesterday. Everything works great. I have recorded a couple of programs on the DVR and want to archive them. I noticed the "Copy to VCR" command and downloaded the 8300 User Guide from SA. IA couple of questions:
I have a DVD recorder, (even I don't use VHS anymore!) - Will the Copy to VCR command work the same to copy to the DVD recorder?
I'm using the HDMI output on the 8300 to the TV. I noticed a discussion elswhere in the forum as to whether the component outputs were active when using the HDMI cable. Does anyone know if I can use the component video and OUTPUT 1 audio to copy to the DVD recorder, or am I limited to the OUTPUT 2 composite video and audio? Thanks for any help or tips.
