Re: Downloading saved digital prgraming from a motorola DVR cable box

I attempted to learn about this as well. My box, the 6412, has a
firewire connection for just this purpose. But Comcast told me that it
was not enabled for download. For now, the only way to do this is to
hook up a DVD Recorder via SVideo/Composite and record this way. I
also understand that getting it to record widescreen can be a
significant challenge.

All I wanted to do was record my HD widescreen shows to dvd in
widescreen mode. I understood that the hd material would be converted
to 480i and that the connection would probably be Svideo.

I had alloted $500 for a DVD Recorder, and when I found out all the
obstacles to doing what I wanted to do I gave up.
