Browse All TopicsHello, I use Windows XP/3 and am wondering if there is a way to transfer content that has been recorded
on a DVR to my HP Pavilion zd8000 for archiving. The DVR has an eSATA port but Comcast, (my local provider) does not support it so I can't expand the recording capacity of the DVR by using an external drive.

camtz,

In http:/Q_23696505.html, I said the FAQ at http://www.scientificatlan
Q. Are all the recordings securely encrypted on the hard drive? Can the hard drive be removed and the recordings viewed or copied?
A. All the DVR recordings are encrypted and cannot be digitally copied or viewed in another device, including another Explorer 8000 or 8300. However, the DVR recordings can be played back and copied to a VCR tape if the VCR is connected to the RF output or the "OUT 1 (TV)", main composite output. In addition, a future software release will activate the VCR Output on the Explorer 8000 back panel. When you see an on-screen option called "Copy to VCR" after you select to play back a recording, then you know this VCR copy feature is active.
