How do I connect my Motorola DCT DVR?

The cable compnay no owners manual or installation guides and can not find on the Internet. The five strands of the cord gave me custom plug on TV. HELP!.

Hello … Most DCT (Digital terminal consumption) have output jacks multiple connections for different types of television (the company you never know what type of TV, consumers will have to be prepared for this kind eh?). The simplest connection is easier and more direct cooperation of DCT axial cable television. Same type of cable that carries the signal into DCT use another sheet (4 to 5 feet long at least) to connect to the TV. TV to channel 3 (for most TV) and you should have the signal. If not, you can call your local cable company and can work with you until you do! Source: Former COGECO cable technology support person

How can I transfer a video clip from my DVR to my PC?

I have a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300 DVR and need to copy a portion of a recorded show to my computer. There is a USB port in the front of the DVR, but then what? The DVR only seems to have an option to record to VCR.

FYI, my computer runs on XP.
It’s not a Dish DVR. It’s from my cable company.

Hi Lulubell,

You need a device like DVD Xpress.

With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. I got mine at Sam’s for $59.95.

I saw a newer model at WalMart recently. It was the DVD Xpress2. I think it was $39.95 but I am not positive. You can check one out here http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress-dx2.htm

You connect the composite output of your DVR into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.

Is there a high definition DVR with dual tuners that do not need to activate?

I am looking for a dual tuner HD DVR preferably with the support cable card, but I will not have to pay a monthly fee. I just want to buy the box directly. Does anyone know of one?

Motorola makes a hand, the cable companies use. You would have to rent from your cable company … at least not Tivo:)

How to transfer programs from dvr to vhs

Hi Joe,

Connect the output of your DVR into the input of your VHS. Connect the output of the VHS to your TV so you can monitor what you are doing.

Copy away!

Motorola DVR/HDTV box

I have a black cable box and a new motorla dvr/hdtv cable box from comcast. How do I hook this up? Do I hook up the colored wires to my TV and transfer the two cable from the black box to the new motorola box? I’m not getting any signal…

You put the colored wires from cable box to TV.

Then you plug them both to a power source (lol)

Put the card into the card slot (if they give you one)

Call or go to your local Comcast office to get them to activate the box.

And you’re done!

Can a TiVo DVR record shows without having to pay the monthly fee?

In other words, you can use as a VCR with a timer, only without the cassette?

No. Not without some serious hacking or modding anyway, and if there was a way, many people would. I'm pretty sure the baby they have quite blocked. There are free alternatives to TiVo but Windows Media Center is very good, so it is MythTV (the latter requires a job).

Could he use a digital cable box (Scientific Atlanta EXPLORER 8249HDC) and a TV tuner for my PC?

Not directly. Cable TV boxes are not outlets that can connect to PC inputs.If common to install a TV card in your PC, you can use the entries in the TV card.
