I have TWC (Time Warner Cable)
I have 2 HD-DVR boxes, theres some stuff I recorded on them, from 2006 >.>;
My problem is, a TWC representative called and gave me a new option of a new/better HD-DVR box, for the same price, but with better goodies
Mainly:
+10-15 hours of more recording time on the newer boxes
Call Waiting, but through the cable box. Example: Watching TV, phone rings, phone not right by you, but you get a message displayed of who's calling (name/number), + the options of send to answering machine/voice mail, or pick up (keep ringing), and grab the phone (I think)
+ Start up feature, if you join a show 15 minutes to late, you can still rewind the show/movie to the start time and watch it (Still trying figure out how the F this works)
Thing is I don't want to lose the stuff on my box that I have recorded (All right its the Victoria Secret Shows of 2006/2007 in HD >.>;, mind you)
Is there any way I can record these show off the box easily, or am I fucked?
I know there are a shit ton of options from HD Capture cards -> Laptop/Desktop or the old school way of plugging in a VCR and just record them onto tape, or get a DVD recorder of some type and use that somehow
I don't have a Laptop/HD Capture card
Can get a DVD recorder from my Uncle, and burn them onto a DVD...problem is what F'n wires would I need (is it just like TV > VCR recording?, and for HD to show up do I need HD wires?)
Any help would be appreciated, I will be getting the new boxes close to my B-Day (6/21), so I only have 3+ weeks to get this shit done
