Ok..I have read most of the DVR and HD threads around and have not found a concise step by step answer. And I know someone has it.
I have a Mits 62725 dlp (with firewire) and a Motorola 6412 dvr cable box (with active firewire). I am finally picking up my Mits HD2000U tomorrow and need to know what cables to get with it in addition to general operating questions. I could not find a pdf manual online.
Can someone give me the step by step process for recording HD from the 6412 or DLP to the DVHS? Including hookup to all.
For example:
-Am I recording from the 6412 or the tv?
-Do I have a choice of recording from either?
-Does my tv need to be on exactly what is being recorded?
-Since the 6412 is a dual tuner can I watch something on my set and record to the DVHS from the 6412's other tuner that is tuned to something else?
-Can my tv be off and just record from the 6412?
-If I am recording from the tv can the 2000U record from a channel other than the tv channel I am watching? For example I am watching NBC ota but want to record CBS HD ota.
Just give me the rundown on how this works. My vision of how it should may not be reality and I may go another route.
Thanks!
