PVRs, DVRs, HDD & DVD Recorders | Forum profile

Whirlpool Forums seem to be the default home for TiVo owners with the guys that sell the TV in Australia often posting/listening to feedback there. It maybe a worthwhile place to have a look see. In relation to your questions, have a read of these two (older) reviews of the Home Networking Package QUOTE The TiVo Desktop Plus software is simple enough to navigate... One nice touch is that you can opt to transfer titles individually, or tell...

QUOTE (tonymy01 @ Dec 13 2009, 05:33 PM) Later means "after the timer has finished" regardless of any usage. You want to choose the "no" option to "are you sure you want to stop your recordings". Regards Thanks, I kinda figured that, however isnt that sort of daft functionality? I mean, it should be smart enough to see that someone is actually using it and not turn itself...

You can connect just about any PVR to a DVDR (using composite cables). After you've recorded your shows on the PVR just hit PLAY on the PVR and REC on the DVDR and the show will be 'transfered'. Helps to have a DVDR with a hard drive as you can edit it a bit on the DVDR (after being transfered) Regards Peter Gillespie PS LTM, wanting to send you a PM but you have yet to reach 5 posts.

QUOTE (Beast @ Dec 12 2009, 12:45 PM) The HNP comes with a desktop plus key which I have and I also purchased an additional key for another PC. I have not entered this key anyway as Im not sure if I need to?? I don't know, but I strongly suspect that you might, since the page I linked to says that WMVs AVIs, etc can only be transferred if you have the desktop plus key. I don't understand why you seem reluctant to...

Have purchased a Trf2400: so far, well pleased with the unit as a PVR - will post some more detailed comments when I feel confident with its general operations. In the meantime, a query re. some quirky behavior of HDMI (which is the connection I am using to connect the Topfield to my Sony Bravia 46" LCD): Now and then, if I am viewing something on the PVR, and then switch to the TV tuner (doing this to compare picture quality of...

QUOTE (jok11n @ Dec 14 2009, 09:05 AM) Taiyo Yuden is also the most counterfeited media type as well so you need to be careful what you're buying is actually genuine So where do you buy yours jok 11n? For everyones information, you can double check with http://www.yw.com.au/www.yw.com.au/index.html (the Aussie agents) that your buying the genuine article. T. John

QUOTE (tonymy01 @ Dec 8 2009, 08:48 AM) Is that "No Signal" message a TV one due to no HDMI, or a Topfield generated one due to no RF on that channel? You can test to see exactly what the Topfield one looks like by pulling the antenna plug from it while watching TV (ensure it isn't recording something at the time that you want to keep!). I wonder if this is the "green screen"...

QUOTE (diesel @ Dec 13 2009, 09:32 AM) That's an odd thing for a PVR to do IMO. The recording name should be the name of the show that you have selected off the EPG for timer recordings. It should not look to rename it part way through IMO. If you select to record say CSI at 8:30pm then that should be the name it uses, not the name of the show 3 mins before (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif ) Mick, the thing is,...

QUOTE (Crusher @ Dec 14 2009, 04:25 PM) sideways scrolling/mess usually means a progressive output is being plugged into a non-progressive input. Some TV's only supported progressive scan on certain inputs and interlaced on others. Thank you but I do not understand the terminology? Does that mean I must just stay with the Composite leads I am using until I get a new TV? Actually even though the CRT Philips is older it is...

G'day, QUOTE (kingbaz @ Dec 11 2009, 03:43 PM) Just found out we have a limited offer through our work - $399.00 Includes TiVo 160, CASPA On-Demand, Wireless Adaptor and Home Networking Package (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif ) Too bad I don't work with you -- I paid $500 for 160Gb Tivo + Wireless Adapter today, plus $10 for HNP. So $399 seems quite a bargain indeed. --Geoff
