Hello,
A friend of mine in the Netherlands has Humax iHDR-5200c. I am looking for something similar that can do the following:
(A) Record NTSC since I am in the USA (or have options for PAL or NTSC so I could select NTSC)
(
Record DVB-S since I will be recording DirecTV satellite football games(C) Record SD MPG or HD (either TS or MKV h264)
(D) Have a built in hard drive (or one that I can add) and that I can drag and drop files from via USB or ethernet (ideally USB since i don’t want to hook the PVR to my router.
Thanks.
Daniel
I do not think that you will get many suggestions here – to start with you need a i20v 60hz solution for the USA (unless you want it hooked up to a transformer). Cable solutions (Which I think the iHDR-5200c is from a review I read)- can be very specific to the cable company – but from what you write I think it is more a sat solution you are looking for.
With the combinations that you are seeking and the supported standards you want I am wondering if such a solution exists.
Welcome to the Forum Daniel
As you can tell from the lack of response there is not a lot of info here for American systems, however
You indicated that you want to record DirectTv in which case you have to have a unit compatible with their service, for example the Humax HR24.
Thanks, Barry. The problem with all boxes sold (or leased) by DirecTV is that he USB port is not actually connected, so there is no way to drag and drop files from the PVR to my computer. I know that AC Ryan makes a PVR where this is possible but that PVR only works with DVB-T, not with DVB-S. Can I purchase a stand lone Humax HR24 with an active USB port or does Humax only manufacture for DirecTV?
