Has anyone tried it with Xfinity HDMI? Didn't see any info regarding how to set it up for HDMI recording, other than it says it will work.

As there are no dvd recorders (except for extremely expensive ones) that record 1080p (HDMI) onto DVD's anyway, I that might actually answer the questions. If you have a DVD player that has the "upscaling" or "upconverting" feature, that is the best you can get, and you would use it with an HDMI to your TV to playback the DVD you have made.

I do not believe it can be use for HDMI recording. I have had this for about a year and been just using it with my VCR to convert tapes over to DVD, Blu-ray or even just storing them on my computer. I have been using the white, red and yellow cables along with a usb grabber to get the video to my computer. Sorry for not having a good answer on the HDMI recording.

This device only has 2 types input/output. S-Video & component (RCA) so analog recording is the only type recording.

I have no clue. I use mine with a VCR & RCA connections. Mine has not HDMI connection points.

As far as I understand there is no way to convert to HDMI from S-Video. There may be a piece of equipment to do that but it may be costly. This unit only has composite video and S-video inputs and outputs so you would need to use one of those outputs on the rear of the Xfinity set top box if they are available.

I'm sorry, I have not tried that. I simply attach it from one dvd player to another usually. It is my belief that it will work though. It works with all other devices I've tried. I have to say that this device is worth every penny though as it has allowed me to make my own compilations of media. Good luck!!!

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.

I have cable and can record, but the playback on my has been a B---h, can't seem to get the speed of the recording to sync with the speed of the playback. Don't get what the problem is.....haven't figured it out!

It will record everything you want, even HBO or Premiums channel. Just don't record through Hdmi. Only record through Ygrb components. They are the same clear as 1080i.

So Comcast functions normally with this remote? Like using the guide, recording/playing/rewind/pause DVR, etc. Want to be sure before I buy this. Thanks!!

I have used it to record episodes of t.v. shows and a few football games to DVD. I was able to watch them later with no issues.Note: I use broadcast television. I do not have cable or satellite.

It worked with our Motorola HD DVR and HD receivers when we had Xfinity Cable via Comcast in the past. We switched to a satellite company in the last few months. To answer your question more directly, it worked great with the Xfinity boxes (Motorola) as of last Spring (2013) when we had that service. I hope this helps!

It technically works with WMC on an Xbox 360, but its configuration is not ideal. For instance, there's no green button / start button that will get you back to the main WMC menu. That makes it somewhat difficult to get to Recorded TV from Live TV. There is, however, a Live TV button. I've had to use a workaround that involves making sure I go to Recorded TV first upon startup, then to Live TV. That way I can use the back button to get to Recorded TV. It bothers me, but for $10 I suppose I can live with it.

While I can't speak for this card specifically I can vouch for the fact that your theory works. I've done as much with most basic capture cards. Just make sure that you have multiple video outputs on your graphics card and connect one to your monitor and loop back to the capture device through a second output. The card should appear in your recording software as a capture device and I've used it to record full screen video, capture PC game play and once even live-streamed my PC desktop to a website.

This will not allow you to capture from an HDCP enabled source, if that helps. I use it to capture PC gameplay. I run HDMI out of the GPU to an active HDMI splitter; one HDMI cord then runs to my monitor and a second into the capture card.

I also had the same dilema, hooking up my xbox and cable box to the reciever. I ran the HDMI from both to my tv, ran an optical out from tv to sony reciever and had awesome sound.. Does kind of suck that there are no HDMI inputs but I still made it work for me.

You have to have a cable card in the device for it to work. Your situation may neccessetate some sort of capture card. This one is truly a cable recording device like a settop box DVR

The device has an hdmi output. I would think it is not copy protected, but not sure about that. If not, I don't see why you couldn't record to hard disk if you have a video card with software that supports recording over hdmi.

I had never tried mine with an HDMI cable. Your question spurred me to go get a cable and try it out. Now, finding a mini-hdmi cable was not that easy, but I finally located one at Best Buy. I tried out the HDMI cable with my Visio TV. It works the TV just like the screen on the dash-cam. No problems at all. Easy as can be.

Nope. There is a substantial delay. If I'm recording a game or anything else you're seeing at least 1 second delay, if not more. If you're recording game you need to use an HDMI splitter to be able play in real time on a normal flat screen TV and capture the output at the same time. Of course the device can only capture component video. However like many users of this capture device, I use an HDMI to component converter device.
