For a long time I've been looking for something that works just like an good ol' VCR, but receives DTV, even HDTV, and doesn't save to VHS but to a harddrive (internal is OK, but external would be great.) You set the channel and the time, and voila! it records. It seem no one makes something...

Using my camcorder is not an option - it lacks this capability, and only can record through the lens. I specifically want to use this for recording from sources that have no DV capability. thanks anyhow, jason

I've recently purchased a new laptop to replace my desktop... the desktop on which I did all my video work. Fear not, this laptop is up to the task... except it cannot, of course, use my old Dazzle PCI card. So I'm looking for something to capture with on the laptop. I've seen PCMCIA devices...

John, the problem with CATV is that you cannot address grounding issues at the source. Remember the source isn't your cable box, but the source of the CATV signal itself at your cable TV provider's station. I also suspect that the thousands of other subscribers, if not just the ones in your...

You got problems? Try doing this with an Infocus X1, grrrr! The s-video component in only takes 480i and the VESA component in only takes 480p, 720p and 1080i. There's no crossover! So if I want to use anything greater than 480i with GT4 on my X1, I have to switch cables back and forth all the...

After learning about ground potential differences and reading a few articles on HomeTheaterForum and other places, here was my original problem and here's how I fixed it: When I first set everything up (Infocus X1, Motorola digital cable, Sony HTiB, non-HD TV, and Playstation2) I had _two_...

Early last week I saw a website that detailed the pinout for the Infocus S-Video/component adapter cable from Infocus. Its the adapter that lets the s-video interface on the X1 (and other model) projectors turn into an interlaced component input. Stupidly, I did not bookmark it, especially now...

Not that I've ever seen. Transcoders/converters are EXPENSIVE... at least two if not three to seven times that price depending on how fancy you get. jason

Ground loops are evil. Try to picture this. You have two outlets on the same circuit. You plug in two A/V devices, one to each outlet. Then you run an A/V connection (audio in/out, or video in/out) across the devices. Now you have a complete circle/circiut/loop for a ground to run across: outlet...

Hopefully you installed these cables in a free flowing manner. If so, you could tie 3 pieces of chord to the component cable and use it to the pull the chords through. Then use one chord to pull the component cable back into to place and another chord to pull a new composite cable through. The...

So I was reading and learned that my Infocus X1 can use its DB15 VGA port as an HD15 port. My heart leaped and I went out and bought some connectors, ripped 25 feet of cat5e off of my trusty spool and put a cable together and hooked up the X1 up to my Sony HTiB DAV-FC7 (3xRCA-out). What a...
