I can come out of my box (mag254) via the composite port and go into a set top dvd recorder, but the quality just plain sucks so I do not use it.
Hello,
Appears I'm entering a 2+ year long message thread.
Presently, Tivo allows time shifting, commercial skipping, scheduling, everything .... but Tivo is Tivo
and not iPTV. Various websites advertise DvD recorders that presumably can be attached to the
Mag 254 HDMI output and function more or less as a Tivo. Not being a Mag 254 user yet, need to
ask about the technical possibilities of selecting a DVR recorder that will suffice?
Youtube videos reveal that the Mag 254 UI has "Record Manager" and "Download Manager" features,
however search engine searches reveal no instructions of details of whether or not these two
UI menu picks function to allow scheduling, commercial skipping, recording, time shifting, etc.
Can an external hard drive be added to Mag 254 to perfor4m scheduling, downloading, time shifting, etc?
Any enlightenment will be most appreciated.
Thanks
