Hello Tech Professionals:
In the past, I purchased a Digital Media Recorder (otherwise known as a DVR). The unit I purchased was multi functional: it played VHS tapes used in the past before everything went digital. It played and recorded to DVD discs.
The problem now is: it will no longer record to DVD discs, nor will it play them. Apparently the component that does this is no longer being repaired by the manufacturer. In my opinion, this is really not fair for consumers, who just wished to record a program they may have wanted to watch during regular air time, but had to be working.
How annoying it is: the electronics companies that used to give consumers the ability to record programs to VHS tapes will not continue to allow consumers to record to DVD discs. All of a sudden, copyright concerns seem to be the justification for electronic companies decision to stop the production of an independent unit that can record television programming.
However, I've been told that with a computer TV Tuner Card a consumer can record to the DVD disc in their disc drive. I've even been told that the TV Tuner Card has the ability to preset times the card will come on. I'm not sure how the TV program is first saved in the computer, but I think it is saved as a digital file. Then, if that is right, the consumer can copy the digital file to a DVD disc.
Look, I'm not totally sure about all of this stuff. Forgive me, but I'd like to know if what I'm talking about is still possible? I'd also like to know if multiple television programs at different times the same day or evening can be saved to a computer digital file?
Thanks for replies.
