I am new to this forum and do not own a ReplayTV yet. I am planning on buying the 4000. I called SonicBlue the other day and asked them some questions on the unit. I wanted to see if anyone on this forum has heard differently from what he told me, and I have a few more questions as well.
SonicBlue told me:
You can drag recorded files over to your computer. They are Mpeg2 and are not encrypted.
Sending a show over the internet takes 6 hours for 1/2 hour show.
I-channels will be Mpeg4.
You cannot drag video files from your PC to the 4000 and play them.
MyreplayTV.com will not be updated on the fly. It will still take a day.
Here are some questions I have:
Is the 40 hour unit, 40 hours at best, or 40 hours at worst quality?
How large is a 1 hour mpeg2 file? Can I burn it to DVD? Can I convert it to mpeg4?
thanks for helping me out. I am sorry if all this stuff has been posted before.
