Will it record from a cable company "UDTA" box (little one with no on demand) with an HDMI out? Has anyone tried this?

Depends on if the HDMI signal is using HDCP. My guess is that it won't unless you strip the HDCP from the original source before going into the capture device.

It has worked for me using the following instructions. You have to use an HDMI splitter not a switch. The connections are like this: HDMI out of cable box to HDMI splitter then from HDMI splitter out to HDMI in on the avermedia device. I bought the hdmi splitter from Amazon.com about 15 months ago. I assume that they are still available. It was relatively inexpensive when I got it. Hope that this helps.

I don't know because it would record unless you have a cable box, which I don't even though I have cable. I bought from amazon a magnabox which would work.

As long as you unplug the hdmi cable and use another output source from your cable box you will be able to record HBO

Hi, No this won't record in HD even though it may be broadcast in HD. You'd need a blueray recorder to keep it to HD quality. This is just standard definition quality. I really like the units though if that's not an issue.

You have to find out if it has a drm protection. If it does not then yes you can record through the hdmi cord.

it will capture from any HDMI as long as the hdmi is not protected. meaning it wont let you record from a HDCP protected product like a playstation 3. and there is a streaming feature on the software but skype and google detect them like a normal camera hooked to a computer

You have to have a cable card in the device for it to work. Your situation may neccessetate some sort of capture card. This one is truly a cable recording device like a settop box DVR

Most likely not. This DVR uses a Coaxial Input (the kind used by over-the-air antennas). While the cable input into your "Cable Box" is a coaxial input, this device does not have the ability to convert the (scrambled/digital) signal from the cable company into a picture you could view on your television. Your best bet would be to ask your cable provider to supply a DVR which is designed to work on their system.

I have a digital cable box and it only records to the channel that I select. On my Toshiba, there is no choice to choose which station to record. Whatever station is selected on the TV, it records. Hope this helps. roger

Ditto for the Cablevision hd box - much better video using the component video inputs. Thanks for sharing.

Your question is unclear: The Hauppauge box is not a cable decoder. However, if the video comes out of the TWC box, it is already decoded, therefore The Hauppauge box can record it. However, you can not display or record it in HD since it does not have an HDMI input... HD only off the air...

If you mean record off tv to dvd It has no coaxiel in or out. You need a cable or Sat. box with RCA plug.

I"m watching a movie I recorded on a flash drive. So far so good! I wanted to cancel my cable as I only use it for the DVR function, I have been testing this on a tv not hoooked up to cable and so far it is doing what I want it to do. I believe the box has to be on to record though, but tv can be off.

No. It is a great OTA tuner (2 of them) that record in HD. It does have inputs for other devices such as a satellite receiver BUT those are pass through to the TV. You can't record the other inputs.

Yes, you can split the cable and record using the coax cable input on this device and bypass the cable DVR box. The DVR coax output on cable boxes is analog; therefore, this unit will not record from the cable DVR box. In addition, only broadcast HD TV channels can be recorded with this device.

Hi Robert! I haven't had any problems recording from my cable box. I've recorded digital stations, premium and even On-Demand with this unit. Yep, recorded 3 shows ON-Demand! The D-r400 is awesome! I'm using composite, because my cable box does not have an S-Video Connection. Picture is great and I wasn't sure it would be, although I'm not using this on an HDTV. I have read that some people have problems, depending on their cable provider. If your provider will not allow recording of these stations due to copyright, then it may not work for you. Most have not had a problem, which is why this unit has become so popular. Just make sure you hook up your unit to the cable box. The D-r400 doesn't have coaxial, so you need to use RCA audio/video cables. Follow the instructions on the manual for cable/satellite installation and you'll be fine.
