pushing to tokyo

247 Views 2 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  KenL
a good friend (american) visiting from his home in japan was quite excited abt the push capabilities of my replay 4080, figuring i could send him the latest "west wing", "ozbournes", sports, etc.

since any replaytv he buys will not recognize his local cable service, he won't be able to get the channel guide, which means he won't be able to record or even watch his local programming thru his replay. in effect, he'll pay $1k+ for a digital receiver.

any hacks that will allow him to use the full power of his replaytv overseas?

Wouldn't your friend be way ahead to buy you a DVD burner (Panasonic DMR E-20 - about $700) and let you record his episodes for him and mail them to him.

Well it's a fascinating concept but not much has been done on it yet. How well you can push would depend on what kind of connection you have. With some of the other things going on here you might be able to "extract" and then push mpegs to be played as files or DVD's on that end. Might be more work? Dedicated 4K box would sure be cool and cooler if adapted to do local there. :cool:
