OH I see. You are right, it doesn't have anything to do with copyrights, though. It's just that the MyHD card is simply an over the air tuner. There is nothing that can record component video output, but you can record via firewire from compatible cable boxes, then play it back from the roku. Check with your cable company - the fcc has mandated that all cable providers have to offer a firewire-capable cable box. So chances are, there is one available for you. Another alternative is Directv with the 169time modded receiver. That's what I have and I use it to record from the hd channels. Email me privately if you want more information. I play those recorded files through CinemaSix.

All the HD cable channels I get that really matter are subscription channels anyway, decoder required. SHO, HBO, INHD1, INHD2, KPBS, DiscoveryHD. What I desire is something that can record the component video signal out of the cable box and allow me to store it as an MPG file. -JB -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Jason Burroughs Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 8:02 PM To: 'Roku Tech Mail List and Discussion Group' Subject: RE: [Roku-tech] New to RokuHD1k product You can record HD with a MyHD card - that's the main point! It integrates with TitanTV.com to let you schedule recordings from the internet. Do some reading about your card, it's very popular for hd recording. From there you can play back the recorded files through the roku using cinemaSix...

Looks like poeople are doing cool stuff with them. I wish I understood a little better some of the details that people talk about here. My big question regarding playing back video stored on a PC is 'Where can I acquire a HD signal to store for later playback?' I bought a MYHD video capture card with the understanding that it would not be able to record HI Def directly from the cable (Dam Digital rights managment) The catalog did speak of a VGA input so I nievely thought I might be able to record from this HD analog input port. Turns out they meant it could be used in a pass thru mode where it could share the monitor with the normal PC video card output. No recording of signals from the VGA port. (foiled again) In the mean time I have a Hauppauge USB2 video capture device that works pretty good on ordinary cable signals, at least way better than VHS.
