I guess this topic was discussed before and it was all over the internet. here is the issue. I just got new plan and sign up with fios tv with dvr. I am new to this and actually first use dvr. I recorded some shows on tv and want to take it out put on my hard drive. I looked through the dvr menu and found no option to do that, then contacted tech support. they told me there is no way to do that due to copyright. The recordings stay in the machine forvever even if I cancel my service I have to return the dvr machine recordings still in it.
I found discussions on internet about people trying to download the recording with real time recording with tv tuner. I have an old vcr with dvd recording. I tried to record it from dvr put found quality is not good, plackback was crappy, not clear. Maybe the connection was not properly setup.
anbody know how the connect settings to improve recording quality?
I also found discussion that people try to record from dvr playback with tv tuner. what are the good ones that can recording HDTV quality? is it possible to record with HDMI ?
