Please log in for more thread options I fully understood that you have DirectTV and a DirectTV STB.
If you have an analog tuner that is Media Center compatible and you have
the a Media Center IR receiver and remote then you can easily feed the live
program output from your DirectTV STB to it in standard NTSC 480i SD format
using either RF over channel 3 or 4 or via S-Video (preferred and record
it). You then can also fool MCE by telling it to record a live program and
then use DirectTV remote to actually play a previously recorded program.
The recorded encoded files on the DirecTV STB are not in a disk format that
is recognized by Windows so they can not just be transferred.
