Best, Karl Fisher Visiting Lecturer of Spanish NCCU Durham, NC (3) from [log in to unmask] Hi Rachida, We're using a Dell Media Center PC for all of our satellite recording from Dish Network. It works extremely well (even though it's running Vista!) and has built in functionality for burning directly to DVD. The other thing that's great about recording programming with Media Center is that you can pull down customizable guide information and schedule your recordings either on site or over the internet. I suppose for your DVR to DVD project, you could connect your audio and video output from the DVR to a DVD recorder and then burn / finalize the disc from the DVD recorder. Please feel free to give me a call at the number listed below or shoot me an e-mail if needed. Best regards, John Verbick Director, Modern Languages Learning Center Instructor, Spanish Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics University of Oklahoma Kaufman Hall 229 Norman, OK 73019 (405) 325 1352 [log in to unmask] (4) from [log in to unmask] We usually record from the Dish DVR to a VHS tape and then the VHS tape can be converted to DVD. -- Helen F. Stapleton Director, E.L. Kellerman Language Lab University of the South 735 University Ave. Sewanee, TN 37383-1000 (931)598-1468 (5) from Thomas Hammond We have had very good results with the portable device PocketDish, which can be used privately for faculty preparation and can be connected to classroom projector for use in class. This is a specific version of the Archos portable media player. I believe the distinction is that the PocketDish includes the chip needed to decrypt the Dish Network content.
