DVR Questions?

Question

I have a Scientific Atlanta 8300HDC DVR from Time Warner Cable. Is there a way to connect it to my computer and transfer files over to it that I can watch on it or burn to DVDs? It has USB and FireWire, but I want to make sure it will actually work before I buy a cable. Thanks!

Hi mgronholm0520,

It is a bit of a pain but you can do it with DVD Express.

With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. I got mine at Sam's for $59.95. They are cheaper now. You can look at one & read about it here - http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress.h...

I saw a newer model at WalMart recently. It was the DVD Xpress2. I can't remember what it cost.

You connect the composite output of your DVR into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.
