I plugged a firewire (the old one that came with the iPod from back in the day) into the cable box and then into both my iMac and MacBook (both with Intels) and opened the AVC Browser. It seems to recognize the box (a time warner cable SA 8300HDC from New York City), and when I go to look at the viewer, it properly opens VLC and gives me a UDP address, and occasionally, when I reset the box or turn it on and then off, it shows me a very very choppy picture for one second, but then it stalls and I am left looking at a static choppy picture. Is something the matter?
I have tried this both with cable channels and regular network, both HD and SD. Can I get my computer to at least show the picture? I know that the computer can communicate with the cable box as using the apple AVCBrowser, it can change channels on the cable box. Moreover, when I use the TV navigate to a show that I had previously recorded, that streams to my computer fine. Also, when using AVCVideoCap, I can see that the channels that I go to are EMI Record Freely or Record Once, and when I record something, it gives me a huge m2t file, but that will not play back using VLC 0.9.9a.
Any suggestions?
