Just change/convert the win 7 video with MCEBuddy located here http://mcebuddy2x.codeplex.com/releases/view/116426 . I use it all the time with TV shows I record on the Windows Media Center. It converts them to a more compact size and a more universal format, AND it can be set up to do it automatically after the show is recorded.

I don't really know. I have only recorded onto a CD and I don't believe you can record any other way. However, there is a way to connect to your computer, so there may be some options I am not aware of.

Thanks. That answers my question about recording off the TV. Do you know if we can view/play VHS tapes using the Toshiba DVR610? Other people have written saying that they haven't been able to do so. Thank you.

Thanks for the comeback, I accidently found the recordings in the "Record State" page this morning and was able to view them. my next task is how to save them for later viewing since it has erased them???? The FORMAT box is not checked and overwrite is disabled in the HDD page.

Have you made a recording from a Verizon FIOS box recently? My DR410 has worked perfectly for years but in the past month it won't record anything coming from the DVR. It pops up a message about the signal not being one that can be recorded (like you tried to burn from a commercial DVD or VCR) and I haven't been able to burn anything else. Very frustrating!! Anyone else see this problem recently? And does anyone know a solution? Thanks.

Use the front of the DVR. I always use the mouse. Should be able to use the DVR device. Never tried it though.

Will I be able to record shows that are stored on my cable dvr to this dvd recorder? Has anyone tried this?

That's a very interesting thought. We are always looking into what we can do to provide DVR service options that can appeal to everyone. Would you mind suggesting this as an idea for us by clicking on 'Suggest an Idea' on this page: http://support.dropcam.com/forums/20768048-feature-requests ? It would also be great to know why you would like recording for just one day. Thanks! David Corea

I would call the company & try to get another one, or just buy another system. I record my video on my desktop computer. Much easier to work with, never look at my recorder video.

I believe I've found the cause/answer for ME at least. I have my HD DVR on a shelf enclosed with a glass window. I think it's an issue with the DVR once it gets overheated. I've since cracked open the glass door and haven't seen it happen since...

I use windows xp to record. It works great. If you're having a hard time just download the drivers off of divide sign that support the mbox. Have fun

No, it's not even worth recording, very limited. Hope you find a good one for monitoring at a reasonable price.

Correct, this device is not direct recorder. You have to have a computer/laptop to run the software and to store the captured data.

OK, please forgive this question as I'm new to digital recording; I just got this product and the instruction booklet does not talk about installing drivers for my machine which is Windows 7. Are the drivers on the included disk compatible with Windows 7? Or should I track down a Windows 7 only driver. If so, where can I find one I can safely (without risk of malware/virus) download one. Thanks

Not sure Thomas, I returned the system due to some issues with exporting footage of the DVR. However, when I was testing this system, it did seem like as long as you had a long enough cable, the system captures (but not exports) fine.

I have the same question. What program can I use on my computer to access what is recorded when I plug the recorder into the computer?

Yes you can, with a little work. Go to AVSforum and search the DVR+ thread for their testing of a program called "ffmpeg" which converts the original file to a useable format.
