How do I capture the feed? How do you do it? Is there a 2.4 ghz receiver with monitor that you would recommend?

Hi,I plug the video and sound feed from the receiver that comes with the camera to a Sony model #VRD-MC5 DVD recorder which burns the feed right to a DVD disc. From there I can go to my computer to edit the video.Sony stopped making these recorders but I found mine on eBay used. What is really nice about this Sony recorder is the small monitor screen it has so you can see what you are recording. Hope this helps and I'd be happy to try to answer any other questions.Regards, Paul

If you want to be able to record one program while watching another, you sort of need a tuner. I am using my converter box that I saved when I switched to HDTV.

Thank you both. I will look hard at a machine like the DR570, as I am not on cable, only antenna. Right now I get a good picture on my old Sony (non-HD) TV, using a cheap converter box. If I can get rid of the converter box, and record off the HD antenna signal with a tuner built in then that's the way for me to go. Thanks again for helping me make up my mind. Now to figure which device is the best for a reasonalble price..............R

Can you manually select and view the correct local channels? If the problem is just recording, how do you select a program to record? What specifically happens?

Hi,You can use an XLR or 1/4 inch cable - its very easy ... just need the correct cable - it is maybe $3-7 for the cable - if your receiver has RCA outputs then you need a cable that's RCA on one side and 1/4 inch on the other.Please let me know if you have any other questions.My very best,JenniferMillennium Worldwide

So did you ever solve your tuner problem? I hooked mine to my cable box to record programs that would fill in my cable co. DVR or did you try connecting this to one of the $40 government ATSC to analog boxes?

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

Manual feed I'm pretty sure. Problem I had is that it would lock up with funny colors on the screen whenever I tried to scan - right out of the box, so I returned it.

Tavis, I'm looking for a similar solution - how did you do it in the end? did you use the 2.4ghz to get that kind of distance?

Doubt itthe feed goes to an SD card not sure if using the hdmi out cable works in real time or just for playbackBut you might google ASTAK and see if there is info on the web site

I would suggest another TiVo or refer to TiVo.com about the TiVo set-top that pulls live feeds without conversion. when you get real comfortable I'll bring you up to speed on pytivo and streambaby.

I have been trying to get this to work for awhile and have been unsuccessful. I bought the $40 VGA cable and hooked it up to the TV with a seperate audio cable (headphone jacks) and put the external monitor setting on the PC and I still cannot change the source to PC on the TV. It claims that the source options will only become available when those inputs are hooked up to something......well I am definetely hooked up to my computer and the TV is not taking a signal????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 separate pc's concurrently. Remember if you are recording a show and watching another you are using 2 tuners. Make sure all tuners are programmed correctly as well. I went a year without being able to use one until I discovered I had one of my tuners configured for HD air antenna source and not cable tv.

There is a transmitter and receiver. You must run receiver signal through something (amp) to display/hear it.

The rxa-720 is a awesome receiver. As far as price is concerned I got mines open box but brand new which chopped 200$ off the price. See if u can find that type of deal.

The silicon dust website is pretty good for support. To use this tuner you will need a couple of things - 1) a place with power to plug it in that also has access to your home network via an Ethernet cable, as well as access to the co-ax cable from your antenna. 2) a computer of some type that you can leave on all the time, preferably something newer running windows 7 or 8. I run windows 8 and ran into a few config issues but nothing that was a deal breaker. You also need to leave your computer on all the time so it can record your shows. You need to be able to allow programs to wake it from sleep mode or turn off sleep mode entirely. Make sure you have decent signal from the antenna first before you go to far. antennaweb.org can be useful for this. Or if you already have a tv plugged in to the antenna and it works that is a pretty good indicator as well. Once you have the tuner hooked into your network you will need to set up whatever media recorder you plan to use. Windows Media Center is pretty user friendly if you are a novice. It comes free as part of Windows Vista and 7 but is a $10 upgrade for windows 8 pro. life hacker has a pretty good guide here: http://lifehacker.com/5515398/set-up-a-geeky-media-center-that-non+geeks-can-actually-use If you are little more computer savy there are other programs out there you can use such as xbmc or mythbuntu, here is a comparison of a couple of them: http://lifehacker.com/5462275/which-media-center-is-right-for-you-boxee-xbmc-and-windows-media-center-compared here is a good writeup of Mythtv: http://www.techradar.com/us/news/software/applications/complete-guide-to-mythtv-947946#articleContent or go to the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythTV Best bet if you are a novice is to go with windows media center.
