Can my Mac Access my Cable DVR Box 'safely'?
Hi All, Can I use my Mac (g4 mini) to access the recordings in our Cable DVR Box in a 'safe' to the box manner and in a 'successful' manner? It is a 'Motorola DCH 3416 HD Dual Tuner DVR' with all the usual video and audio connectors one might expect, but I noticed there are 2 USB ports and a Firewire port right there on the connection panel on the back of the box. I 'assume' accessing the Hard Drive inside the Box via one of these jacks would be fairly likely, but I wonder what pitfalls and perils I ought to be aware of before attempting anything. I also wonder if the files it uses might be proprietary and/or unaccessable or usable on my Mac. My nebulous goal is the possibility of getting the recordings out and onto opticals in some fashion. Mostly it is just plain technological curiousity rearing it's head. It gives me a lot of 'geek' cred in the household knowing lots of 'useless' stuff like how to get videos out of the 'magic' cable box! :-) Thanks All Richard --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Can my Mac Access my Cable DVR Box 'safely'?
Thanks Dan, I went to 'broadbandreports.com' and nothing definitive jumped out at me as I searched around. Tangental postings give the impression that The 'content police' seem to be actively working towards their goal of destroying access to copyright material retention short of deleting our memories. Bummer. I'm flexible on eye patch related sourcing issues, but I'm not an eye patch content provider :-). CNBC reported this morning that an internet tv show provider -name escapes me- is pressing quite hard to come up with an Internet TV Content sourcing process that is holistic and inclusive of all cabletv network content that is embraced by essentially everyone so everyone 'buys into it' and shares in the revenues. The cnbc folks were split generationally on it's appeal and unanimous in the huge challenge of getting 'everyone' to sign up. Seemed like they were looking at an iTunes kind of portal based on ad revenues for income. A 'true' internet based 'cable tv' site.

Best I've been able to do is to put a $40 DVD Recorder between my DVR and TV. Not a very good solution, but it does work. It would be very cool to grab stuff and play it elsewhere, a la Slingbox or TiVo. I'm reluctant to buy or build any infrastructure to do this right now tho. The market is changing so much.

Re: Flash Drive Question
You may be able to go to the companys web-site that makes the flash-drive and reinstall the driver for it. It sounds like a driver problem to me.

I believe they're all backwards compatible to whatever mode your motherboard's chipset supports. A newer DVD/RW will offer support for more types of media. Definitely backward compatible, and the G3s and early G4s accessed the optical drive in DMA mode. Thankfully, Apple elected to cable-up the optical drive with 80-wire/ 40-pin cables, as this is necessary to drive the burners faster than 8X, although the data rate is still below the 80-wire/40-pin rate (Ultra/66). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
