No you can't, must be external HD using the USB port. The quality is poor, the software is poor, I bought one and try to update the software and after that the HD player is not working anymore, do not buy it try another one.

Sure you can !! You'll just have to use the same hookup's you used on the old set. Either composite or component.......whichever you used before. Make sure you have the settings on the 650 set properly in the "input" menu. Enjoy the picture. You should try to take advantage of the HDMI inputs when you update to HD DVR. Enjoy.

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.

It depends what software you would be using, but I believe it would be. It has plenty of storage to operate and as long as you don't need to do any live on-the-fly HD transcoding, you should be fine.

I am - I have the PVR-500 with the Samsung chip (bought locally, not from Amazon) - and the video quality is crap, very grainy, some channels totally blotchy. However, I've talked to someone else that did get the card from Amazon, with the Philips chip, and it's fine. So if you can guarantee getting the Philips chip, seems you're alright.

Yes you can. The ZV427MG9 DVD functions as a regular DVD/VHS player thru the HDMI in addition to its recording functions.

Hello, not sure, suggest you contact HD tech for more info on this question.

Yes, I was able to use mine connecting it from an Xbox to a pvr to a screen that only took an HDMI input.

Yes, you can do it. But you have to read the Sony Vegas Pro 12 Manual or watch on YouTube Sony Vegas Pro 12 tutorials , to know haw to do that.

Sorry, I don't own a PVR Voicerecorder, if it has a jack similiar to the small hand held voice recrder then I would gues that it does, I would take the PVR to radio shack or best buy and ask the Pro's

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately this DVR will only work with HD megapixel cameras.

Likely not...it did not come with brackets and does not appear to have any type of mounts that would suggest it could be done. The directions are extremely poor. Direct translation from a second language which made little sense. Fortunately it is mostly 'plug-and-play', with the need to use the remote to select the source.

I too have both-- but the HD Homerun... is a network product I can watch or record up to three different channels on my Desktop , laptop or laptop outp[ut to a TV. On the other hand the Samsung unit is essentially a good replacement with 1080P output replacement for a set top caable box, but with added smart TV features added ( hulu, vudu, netflix-etc.) I bought these to replace teh small HD box Comcast supplies for $2 qa month , but have only 1080i (and coax analog through put) I have nto seen where you can recieve it's signal through your ethernet -- the LAN connection is only to gain streaming feeds - as far as I Have experienced so far. nice unit- one of first I have seen sold to consumers to replace Cable company units and add smart TV features - hope to see more on the market since ComCrap has chosen to force all reception to require a decoder box- making everyone's internal QAM tuners wasted money and unusable.

I do not see why not. It is hanging on my apartment wall and helps me get all the free HD over the air channels.

Yes, It can burn to a dual-layer BD-R (6x) (it can use all the way up to quad layer media)

You can play video games on it but it depends on your needs. I've actually made some lag test on it and the results shows a delay of 2 frames (33.34ms) and there is a bunch of game's genera that needs perfect timing. In this image, the leftmost screen is my laptop using this PVR via composite, and the center screen is my LG Monitor connected directly to my Xbox via component cables. The rightmost screen is just a sample of this PVR capture work (and looks pretty good). http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/1e94/runatiq9dqe7nt8fg.jpg As you can see, in the laptop is still showing part of the carabine, meanwhile in the LG monitor the carabine is not visible at all. Those 2 frames will ruin the whole experience. It works excellent if your intention is just record your gaming sessions, but I won't recommend it to play competitive games like Halo. The only problem is that the PVR crashes when you plug in a N64. However, if you play N64 games through Wii's Virtual Console, it will work perfectly. And now, about the input lag: that depends on your Operative System and the device itself.
