2nd HD-DVR for more capacity, help??

Question

I have an HD-DVR with satellite now, but would like to load some of the programs from it on to a 2nd dvr for more capacity. I guess if there's an HD-DVR out there with an HDMI input it might work to play off of the receiver on to the 2nd dvr? Has anyone done this? If so, how and what equipment?

Answer 1

Hi shnobodysfool,

I did two things.

First I added a 500 gig hard drive to my DVR for more capacity.

Second I copy programs with my DVD burner. I connect the output of my DVR into the input of my DVD recorder and burn the programs. You should be able to copy them to a second DVR the same way.
