Record Streaming From Computer to 722 Dish DVR

[CatTV]

Is it possible to connect a Hdmi (computer) to USB slot to Dish DVR and record streaming content? Still an active dish account. Realize dish encrypts content, but if played back on DVR does it work?

Nope.

You would need an HDMI splitter, ATSC modulator/encoder (such as the MUL-HDENC-C-100), attenuator pads, and some coax to go to the OTA input port on your 722. Doable, but expensive and totally not worth it. USB won't be involved.

Good luck with that.

Could use a USB capture card and the composite outputs. It would be SD though.

Hauppauge PVR 1212 records component video and Toslink audio in realtime.

The Hauppauge could easily record stuff coming out of the DVR. But for going into the DVR, as in the OP, you'd still need the ATSC Modulator. I think the question though is: Why does the OP want to do this? My guess is that he wanted to avoid buying any more devices. ie: was hoping that his DVR was a generic HD recorder.
