Directv DVR recordings to DVD or External hard Drive
Can this be use to download Directv HD DVR contents to an external hard drive or to DVD's to free up space in my DVR and if so, where do I start and what equipment and software are required? Thank
Theoretically, it could do that, but the recordings would not be very good at all. The Dazzle isn't HD at all, I'm not sure why they put HD in the name, it can only capture 480p or 960i. Your DVR would also have to have regular Composite outputs on the back, which it might not even have. You didn't post the model number of your DVR, but you might want to look into something like this http://www.apricorn.com/product-support/dvr-expansion/apricorn-dvr-expander-for-directv.html which will just give you more storage as long as the model is compatible. Amazon has a bunch of options there, up to 4TB of extra storage, that's a lot of shows! You could even try to get a regular USB hard drive, plug it in and see what happens.
