Hi there,
New forum member here...

I want to record programs from DirecTV, and then copy them to my computer.

I've come up with the following (theoretical) hardware & software solution.
Is there a reason(s) it wouldn't work?


DirecTV receiver's AV outputs connected to TiVo Series2 DT's AV inputs.
Channel changing of DirecTV receiver by TiVo Series2 DT via IR.
TiVo Series2 DT networked thru Ethernet to router.
Computer with TiVoToGo networked to router.

Record program from DirecTV onto TiVo via normal TiVo interface.
(you can use a TiVo to control a DirecTV receiver, yes?)
Use TiVoToGo software to transfer program from TiVo HDD to computer HDD.

Thanks
