Best of all, unlike the cable card solution, etc etc, the programs are not locked down or encrypted, so you can take them with you on an airplane and watch on your PC, or archive stuff to disc, etc.

Or, for a cheap solution, with DISH, there is the PVRExplorer solution. It's less flexible (no mpg4 recording) and, in fact, it's FREE -- but much less reliable and easy to use. You get what you pay for?]]>Mar 12th 2008 12:58PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-record-premium-content-on-my-htpc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-record-premium-content-on-my-htpc/
I really can't wait for the DirecTV reciever as I really want to cast off Comcast and their rediculous rates.

Also, there's no real confirmation if the DirecTV tuner will or will not require an OEM-built PC.

I love my TIVO s3 combined with OTA broadcast.

Yep that's the one. I think if they'd just clear the signal we're paying for, we'd be good to go.

It would do everything for HD as the HDTV signal that is coming off FIOS at least is a secured QAM signal (not sure if 'secure' is the right term) for everything but the local ABC, NBC etc. So the only way to see Discover, for example, is to use their tuner. My HDTV has a QAM tuner in it, that only gets a few of the channels that they offer, my SageTV has a QAM tuner in it so it only gets the local channels, so I must use their tuner and their DVR (or TIVO with a cable card) Still, I'm down to 1 or two tuners, where my SageTV can support as many tuners as I can put in it, and I don't have to degrade myself to Windows Vista to accomplish it, and can build my own system.

Lastly, HDTV is inherently digital, so digital is the only way to get it, No?]]>Mar 12th 2008 10:03PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-record-premium-content-on-my-htpc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-record-premium-content-on-my-htpc/http://home.comcast.net/~exdeus/stbfirewire/]]>Mar 12th 2008 2:13PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-record-premium-content-on-my-htpc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-record-premium-content-on-my-htpc/Mar 12th 2008 3:37PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-record-premium-content-on-my-htpc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-record-premium-content-on-my-htpc/

I think you are incorrect..For the sake of this article please elaborate, on your reply. It was my understanding that the "Broadcast Flag" comes and goes and it is really hit or miss on what can be recorded and pulled off the TiVoHD...But most premium content is indeed flagged and protected...

According to this artice:

http://www.tivoblog.com/archives/2008/02/17/tivotogo-copy-protection/

I can't even transfer a Martha Stewart show due to the braodcast flag! Not that I would want to, but how would HBO or premium content be any different?

Discuss!

On your HD TiVo, you can record broadcast TV (read OTA) and transfer anything you want to your PC.

You are talking about cable TV, and thus has nothing to do with the "broadcast flag" that was revoked.

The problem you have is with your cable co' not the TiVo or in many cases the content holders. You need to file a complaint with the FCC as there are rules that usually allow you to transfers most shows, like Martha Stuart. Now HBO, etc is another story.]]>Mar 12th 2008 5:56PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-record-premium-content-on-my-htpc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-record-premium-content-on-my-htpc/http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/249764.aspx.
