Have you tried that new fangled thing called a VCR ?
Pulling your leg of course.
I have a satellite reciever, that has a USB port for hooking up a 2 TB hard drive, to turn it into a single channel DVR.
The files are stored in some kind of Linux based encryted .lxt file format, to prevent unauthorized duplication.
Haven't seen anyone post a workaround for doing this yet.
And I think my satellite service has to be currently subscribed, so you can't quit your service and still play the content on your DVR. Copyright issues.
