Dish 942 HDTV PVR

[Archived in Entry]

[Tech Talk] Over at Mediacentric they have a look at the new Dish 942 HDTV PVR which is of course the new DVR for DishNetwork. The Dish 942 includes two satellite tuners so you can record one show and watch another live if you wish (always a plus). Although its primary aim is to offer HD recording, the Dish 942 is capable of recording standard definition channels as well.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

HDTV-recording TiVo | PVRblog: When they are transmitted to your cable box, it is missing the digital key, since it is almost always analog at some point in transmission now, even when you receive a digital signal (digital broadcast doesn't mean there wasn't an analog conversion at the broadcast source. Remember all old movies and most new ones began life as celluloid.) If you get an original digital stream with a new movie release today and transmit it digitally to a PVR which read the digital signal, then try to RE-RECORD it to another DVD, I doubt it would work even today. In fact, if you try to burn a new DVD to a DVD then re-burn it again from your copy, it should not work. One recording might, the second probably wont.

XP Media Center ver. 3.0 | PVRblog: The New York Times is right to reference the poorer television quality of Microsoft's machine. My HDTV TiVo has a significantly better picture. That being said it is kind of a raw deal that DirecTV/TiVo disabled the home media option on the HDTV TiVo. At present I have a split system, pictures and music via MCE and television via HDTV TiVo.
