Hello.
I like to watch wrestling. But, I can't always watch it live. So, I record it. But, now, Comcast Cable Company is telling me they don't offer that service any more. Instead, they have a DVR option for their box. But it doesn't have any way of writing to disc, a computer, nor VHS tape.
How would I go about making the analog composite output of the box record to a VCR? My friend talked to one of their techs and he said there is a chip inside the boxes now doing this.
Should I go with satellite? Are they too making it impossible to record TV?
I'm seeing an alterior motive with being able to control how you watch, & if & when you watch it, remotely. Having read an interesting writeup online about phasing out DVD and BlueRay, I wonder if they are going to use this to make people unable to record the truth when it happens, or maybe simply to keep an eye on what one is watching.
A buddy of mine told me all electronic devices are supposed to have a label indicating they are subject to interference. (eluding to big brother) Is that true?
When he orders WrestleMania, I thought he was purchasing it and could back it up. Now one is limited to a third party for storage. Thats crazy. Who decided this? What is the reasoning?
Sorry for all the questions. OK. Thank you very much! WWFan
PS My main question is how do I trick the analog out on the box to not think it is being recorded?
Cheers!
