does the grex work with uverse cable box/dvr to a personal dvd recorder
1270160
I don't know what cable hookups the uverse uses, but it should work with this. The grex is connected where the signal comes in. I use it mostly with roku, but I have used it from dvr to dvd. My dvr is time warner.

I just started TV service through our local phone service (TDS-TV). The installer said the box is the same as a U-Verse box, just a different label on it. I was getting an "unable to copy" notice when trying to copy from the TDS DVR to our DVD recorder (Magnavox MDR535H) so I bought this Grex-7.4 unit. I can't get it to work. I have printed out the connection diagrams from the Dimax web site and none of them work for me. I get the DVD signal to the TV but no TV programming to it. I'm thinking that I may have gotten a bad unit, but I thought I would ask here if anyone has any tricks to getting this thing to work that I am missing. Thanks.

As far as I know - yes. I have Uverse and have not found anything it won't record, in contrast to before I put the Grex in the system. Remember to record for personal use only!

It works from anything to anything. Its an amazing little box, actually its clam shaped. The customer sevice is excellent, if you don't like it, they will let you return it, but I don't think you'll be returning it ;-).

It works perfect with va comcast DVR. So I magazine other DVRs will work. You'll have to find the right spots to place the 2 sensors for best performance. The only device that the infrared device doesn't work well with is an older Sony reciever I have hooked up. I only get volume control with this.

No because of copyright laws and industry restrictions - this will not happen on a device that writes to portable recording media (DVD, Blu-ray, etc). The idea being - as I understand it - to restrict/reduce/eliminate anything but streaming media to consumers. Your satellite, cable, etc PVR/DVR's that have hard drives only - encrypt that data at rest on the hard drive. Your DVR/PVR HDMI output signal checks to see if the receiving device is DMCP - digital media copyright protection compliant - and these devices will not be compliant as the industry and law are currently. I would recommend AVS forums for any indepth discussion of this subject. This is very high level - and I'm not an expert.

Plug the Video OUT cable (Yellow) of the VHS player into the input socket of the Grex and then plug a second Yellow cable into the Outpu socket of the Grex into your TV AV socket. Remember the Grex requires to be powered up from mains voltage.

No it cannot replace A Comcast DVR. The Boxee Box plays NetfliX, Youtube, and files shared on a network.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. I've never use a stand alone DVD recorder. It may work if it had a cat5e connection. If you will give me more specifics, I may be able to provide a better answer.

Yes, you have to use a cable converter type box or some other form of tuner to feed the input of the DVD recorder

Some HD boxes come with an Ethernet port that allows wired connection. This box works with most Direct TV types for witeless and injects the signal kn the box through the coax from the satellite. it also has an ethernet port output. Check with Direct TV to be sure it works with the type of DVR you need for your configuration.

yes but it is unnecessary - since camcorder tapes are not encrypted, and the Grex overrides the encryption on DVD's.

Hi, I assume you are trying to record the VCR to the DVD recorder. There is a yellow (composite) video OUT on the VCR, plug that to the grex IN, then the grex OUT plug into the DVD recorder source IN. Then set your DVD recorder to the source IN you plugged in and record. The DVD recorder HDMI to TV has no purpose in the recording, only for watching the recording so it's fine.

John: It will depend on what outputs your particular cable box provides and the services you subscribe to. Suggest you get the model number off your cable box and post this same question (including the box model number) in the following forum which is devoted to the Magnavox HDD/DVD recorders: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=940657&page=508

Works great with Directv so no problem. No DVD recorder will record in HD, it will record HD programming but the recording will play back in SD.

I do not think it will work. The DVD/NVR is ONVIF and your camera is MJPEG. NVR's are hard to get to work on cameras that are not designed to work on them. It is not the IP, it is the streaming ports and protocals that make the big difference. I did not get any generic, as you called it, to work.

If you can watch tv with out a cable box, you can use this converter box to record with your DVD/VCR.

I do not know. In my case, I was desperate to get a remote receiver. I bought this on the hope that it would work with my DVR cable box. It did not. I can't fault the supplier or Amazon, as my box was not listed as one of the compatible units. As I said, I took the gamble hoping that it would work. My suggestioin would be this, if your unit is not listed, it probably will not work.

George, I don't think this is the item you need. Even though it is a converter, unless the cpu/modem is set to receive the internet this way, you might be better off installing an Ethernet card. You can always send a question to the makers of the Proteva via Email. It does not work for the "E Machine", windows 98, Com South Cable. However I have recently learned that it will work for the Dish Network DVR. Dish just has to do some "trouble shooting" on their end.

Don't know - I used it with a DVR and it worked great! Caught a thief the first 24 hours of use.
