I have a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD DVR box, supplied by Adelphia Cable. Recently the quality of the standard definition recordings has gone down, while the HD recordings (and SD recordings from HD channels) are the same high quality as always. SD channels look fine when 'live', but anything recorded is overly pixelated. I haven't changed anything I am aware of, so I'm at a loss.

I have a VHS VCR and a DVD recorder hooked up. Problem is, when I try to record, the recorder spits out an error message, saying this video is copy-protected.

I've had TiVo for a couple of years. I own a Series 2 box. As of 11pm or so last night, it isn't working correctly. When I hit the TiVo button on the remote to bringi up the menu, it dings but nothing happens on screen. So basically, I can't access any of the functions that TiVo has to offer. Does anyone know anything about this issue?

OK I'm new to DVR. I currently have Direct TV HD package and a Plasma TV. I don't even have a DVD player for the system yet. I do have a high-end PC (Dell) with Windows Media Player installed but I would need to purchase an additional component to use it as a recorder. I'm not against using the PC for this, just don't know how.

Anyway I want to start recording my TV, including some HD content. I need recommendations on how to go about doing it. I've never even looked into TiVo or standalone recording devices so I am looking for recommendations. My guess is I would record 10-15 hours of programming a week with at least half of that HD content.

I'm open on price but as usual I'd like a system that has a good cost/benefit ratio.

I have tried AVI files that are DiVX 4 and 5 but it makes no difference. The only way I can see the files is to play them on a 50inch plasma screen and use the TV zoom feature to the maximum.....and even then they only fill about 1/2 the screen.

I have a DSTV PVR decoder. It has a usb port on the front of it. I would like to know if there is a chance that i could record my favourite soaps or tv shows on the memory of the PVR, and then transfer them via usb cable to the pc. Then i can write it to cd. Would this be possible?

It's a 160gb hard drive dvd recorder (Ellion) for £155, on the internet. Would it be worth having, and what problems would I encounter with it. I am not interested in paying for top of the range stuff, and not bothered about 'perfect' quality reproduction.

Hi. I want to install a DISH network receiver with 2 tuners having the second going to a different tv. However I only have access to a 1 coax cable, 1 cat 5, 1 fiber optic between the two tv's. The receiver requires an RCA cable from the receiver to the second tv. Is there a way that I can covert the RCA signal output from the receiver to a coax, cat 5 or fiber optic? I know there must be something out there, I just dont know what it is. Please help!

I have the IO DVR and its a pain in the neck to delete all of my shows one by one. I am almost out of recording space, but would like to save some of my shows. It seems the only way to get to the screen where you put an X next to the shows you want deleted, is when you run out of space all together.

Is there a better way then recording more shows untill it runs out agian.

And does anyone know what the % recorded space to hours recorded ratio is?? for example, one hour of recorded material is worth how huch %?
