Tuner Dvr
"I can record from DVR to computer via USB instead of installing a TV tuner card in my computer?

As for the tuners USB TV on ebay is confusing. Many look like they just accept the signal from the air. I need a suggestion for the model that allows me to connect directly to your computer DVR hopefully not too expensive. Thanks!

They accept a radio frequency signal – most of the DVR has a channel 3 or 4 output channels – which will tuners. If the DVR has a USB video output (and a driver for the team – there should be one for the version of operating system you are running), could use a USB port – but I doubt that any DVR equipped with USB video output. I made a thorough study of available tuners a few months ago, before I bought one. I decided by Hauppauge 950-Q. I've been using for months with Windows 7 WMC, works very well. (Earlier versions of WMC did not handle HDTV.) The software that comes with the 950-Q is not large (you may have more harsh words for it), but use it only in 1 channel (channel 3 or 4), that would not matter. And if you wanted to use in cable or an antenna, WMC is a pleasant experience.

What are the similarities and differences of Direct TV DVR TiVo HD compared with HD?

After moving to a new apartment complex we are forced to leave our current cable company and go with the complex has a contract with – use dish DVR and we're not happy with it. Customer Ser Tivo for over 4 years, we are looking for something similar to Tivo. Direct TV seems to be the closest, but before we commit, we wanted to get some feedback.

The only benefits of a DVR TiVo DVR through any other is that it is in networking and user interface and user interface / display ability to suggest similar to what we have been recording. While I have never had Dish Network, so I can not comment on their service. However, DIRECTV is constantly improving and enriching their software to add functionality (and cost much less than Tivo). I am a beta tester in its program of avant-garde. These are some of the new capabilities should begin regular users see you soon. http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-cutting-edge-ce-discussion-forum CE: (0×034D) – Left Menu appearance EC 21:01: 21:01 (0×034D) – Support for Linksys Wireless Adapter WET610N CE: 21:03 (0×353/0×354) – MRV is back!

Does anyone know the code for DirecTV remote for LG to use the Input button ?

I just bought a LG TV. and I want to use the remote from DirecTV to change the Input on the TV. Does anyone know the remote code ?

Assuming you have a greyish white remote control with a mode slider switch at the top, these are the instructions:

1. Move your mode switch to TV at the top of your remote
2. Press and hold both the MUTE and SELECT buttons at the same time. Continue to hold them until the green light by the mode switch flashes twice in a row.
3. Release the MUTE and SELECT and enter the following code: 960
4. You should see 2 more green flashes
5. Press your TV Input button to test it.
6. When you’ve confirmed it works, move your mode switch back to DirecTV.

The TV input button will now work while the mode switch is in DirecTV mode.

Is there a way to use a receiver DIRECTV HD local reception without a subscription?

I'm trying to use my friends extra hd directv box and when it was created, which will search the local channels and locks on them, however, not shown. Instead, it shows that the subscriber # and tells me that the card is not activated. Is there any way around this?

No, no. Older DirecTV receivers were well, but since DirecTV subsidized the cost of receivers, who did not want people to buy the receivers not subscribed to DirecTV DirecTV leaving never to recover their claims through the subscription costs. The new DirecTV receiver only now are rented so you get your computer back to cancel these days. I sell on eBay this box if you do not want to subscribe. Then buy an old Voom box as many who receive terrestrial HD yet, if they were still active when bought dish. They can be had on eBay for a reasonable price.

Currently I have a Directv hd receiver, Can I replace it with a hd dvr receiver?

Basically, I want to buy an hd dvr receiver from a friend and not go through DirectV because they are charging too much to sell their HD DVR Receiver with fees, installations, etc…. Also In addition, all I would have to do is pay for the dvr service?

yes its possible. now the next steps:
1. is your friend currently using the hd dvr? meaning does he have an active account with directv and the hd dvr is part of his account? if it is, he needs to contact dtv first and deactivate that receiver.
2. you have to call dtv and order a new access card for the receiver. its also for your own protection. because if there are unbilled pay per views on the original access card, they will get charged to you.
3. if the hd dvr will be a replacement, you need to call dtv and deactivate your hd receiver. because if you won’t, your hd receiver will be counted as an additional receiver in your account ($4.99). anyways, once your hd is deactivated, the new charge on your bill will only be the dvr charge of $5.99/month

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
