An updated guide to recording HDTV signals
Just a clarification on the encryption issues mentioned in the article. In the US, the FCC does indeed have a mandate against service providers encrypting the over-the-air channels. However, some of the broadcast companies (like CBS or ABC) do set a "copy once" flag on their media, which in theory shouldn't prevent you from transferring the shows to your Mac via FireWire. Unfortunately, Motorola set-top boxes see this flag and subsequently encrypt the stream before sending it out over FireWire. In theory, the box should only encrypt things set with the "copy never" flag, but this appears to not be the case. |
