I assume that protected content can only be played on the computer that recorded it, not other computers connected to the ETH. Is this true?

Each computer connected to the ETH will get live streams, including the protected content. (So you could watch HBO on 4 computers connected to the ETH. But each computer would encrypt the stream as it was saving to the hard drive, and that's unique to the computer saving it.) A way to get around that is to use an extender, like the Xbox 360-- but that's not interacting directly with the ETH. Those extenders are talking to one of the WMC computers.

That is true, only on the PC that recorded it or extenders like the Ceton Echo or Xbox 360 connected to it.

It is best to record on cd-r. Also, it depends on what was recorded. Some machines cannot play certain file formars

I never tried it. Let me check this evening if I have time and I will let you know. Once you install it on Windows I believe Steam will allow the content to be accessed from any where you log on.

That is what happens when the material you are trying to record is copy protected. We'll be getting more of this after Feb2009

These recordings are stored in Intelligent Recording's propietary "xtr" format. You will not be able to listen to these calls on your PC without first installing the XtR Desktop software supplied.

i'm pretty sure you can. i didn't have any trouble doing it. but not copy-protected discs or tapes.

Neither. It requires a PC with Windows Media Center to record encrypted cable (DRM) via cable card. The USB port is connectivity for a Tuning Adapter for cable systems that require one to tune Switched Digital channels (Time Warner, etc).

No, there is no way for it to access your laptop or your network. You need to copy the files onto an SD memory card or USB memory, then play the files on this player.

yes, but some programs are blocked / protected. A blue screen will appear saying some thing indicating the program is protected. All of my recordings are from movies that I have saved on my DVR. Most will record but some will not. Strange, but some times the blocked programs still record even though I get the waring display. If a warning display appears don't give up. Try "write to disc" anyway. you have nothing to loose. I have a ton of DVR recordings. This DVD recorder was well worth it to me. I only wished I purchased a VCR / DVD recorder to make it easier to record that old box of VCR home movies I have. yes, but some programs are blocked / protected.

I would not expect it too. There are video players that are made to share video over a home or business network, but they usually have a network port built into them.

I was unable to access any of the data remotely on the device itself. I was, however, able to install it directly on my server and remote in with RDP and VNC protocols And still use the software. What the company calls their "tech support" was a joke, and said that you cannot have an active network security in place e.g. IDS/IPS or a firewall. Although I think their IT was simply trying to pass the issue over as my problem, I believe it was just faulty equipment or operating system both times. You should never have to insecure your network, especially when client information is critical. I would highly recommend Lanthem's line, as it simply works, is easy to configure, and can even be exported to booking software like QuickBooks. It is a little more pricy, but well worth the quality. Hope this helps.

If the computer shows that the recorder is connected when you check on Windows Explorer, there should be no problems.

My GUESS would be to record/transfer to DVD or other device. I have never used mine. Owner's manual says "for future use"? meaning what I have NO idea-take off cover & see if connected to anything-or hook to something that records and see what happens while it's playing.

Nope. The recording is dependont on the computer. The device only supplys the decripted video.

Actually, I have a laptop that reads an SD card. It is easy to just plug the card into my laptop and it plays the video. I have mine set to record when movement is detected. That setting is under the plate on the back. It overwrites the oldest recording when it needs to have more space. I just watch it when I suspect foul play. It worked right out of the box for me. Clay

Yes. We've never used ours with the internet feature. We don't view it remotely, of course...we just review the recording as needed.

Sure you can - but why? If you are buying this for data safety then you are better of either with mirroring or striping. That way your data is protected. (OK it is more expensive, but not if you consider the cost for lost data.
