Question for fellow DVR enthusiasts...

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.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      As much as I would love to sit here and bash on Young.  I can't.   He is absolutely a part of this team winning.  He is the cool hand leading the offense along with the hammer, Rico.  He's making plays on 3rd and 4th downs, that are absolutely helping thus team win.  Is Bryce playing as well as we'd like? Nope. Although he had only 1 week off from a high ankle sprain.   No question he was 100% in the Greenbay game.  I'm not even sure where the team would find a clear upgrade over Byrce.  He is a leader.  In the 4th quarter, he has ice in his veins.  He is a part of why our team is enjoyable to watch again.  Without him, we wouldn't be winning.    Anyways.  Y'all enjoy yet another thread designed to tear down the man.

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!
