With football season approaching, I am thinking of adding extra storage to my TWC Scientific Atlanta DVR box...

I found this nifty guide that basically says all I have to do is get my external hard drive with an SATA cable, unplug my DVR, plug in the hard drive and connect it to the DVR via SATA, reboot the DVR, let it format the newly recognized hard drive, then reboot it all again...

Is it really that simple?

I'd love to be able to DVR the entire season in HD and be able to hang onto it... a 1 TB external hard drive should easily do the trick, right?

Records in HD via a component input back to your PC. Hook it up to your DVR if you want and have fun.

Hauppauge HD PVR

From reading that, it sounds like it only holds 2 hours worth?

My main problem is storage space, and then the ability to get it to my PC... I could just record a couple games, burn them to DVD, rip the DVD to my PC, edit out the commercials, and then reburn them... But it would be nice to go from DVR, to hard drive, to PC, to DVD...

Mine didn't work but Ive heard mixed results from other TWC customers. Some people have it work while other don't. Its worth a try but I'm guessing that you'll be disappointed.

Don't feel bad mine doesn't worh either but my brother says he has no problem with his.

I find this very strange.

No this thing hooks to your PC through USB and to your receiver by component input. It will record directly to your PC where you can make edits and then store the file into your video library or put them onto dvd. Actually it will record into a format that can be burned directly to Blu Ray if you have the means.

It's pretty simple really. Anything I want to get off of my DVR I just hit play on my receiver and record on my PC before I go to bed.

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 3 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ??
