True Hd Recording

[toadflax]

Is there any way to record True HD channels? Ideally I would like to record one HD channel while watching (in SD, perhaps ) another.

From what I've seen the True PVR is only SD and there is some question about the HD STB output being available two ways.

Mainly, it would be used to record late night (early morning) soccer games to watch later. There's a plethora of recording devices in UK but I've seen none in Pattaya apart from a DVD recorder which seems SD only.

Any help would be appreciated.

Can be done easily with dreamboxes.

The Dreambox can only manage two channels, one recording and a different one watching,

if they are on the same transponder.

I know that is true for my 7020s.

True for my DM800 too

and the True HD card does not work properly in any DM box on HD.

Looks like True Vision's HD is for live viewing only.

I checked out a ThaiVisa advertiser's site and they have another Openbox S9 HD STB with external HDD recorder.

Has anyone any experience of this with a True HD card?

I note that my friend in Penang has HD and a similar STB although Astro supplied and branded.

Astro offers an external USB disk option for recording, but to use the facility it has to be "turned on" by Astro.

More money, of course.

I have not seen any word on the file format, to know if there is the possibility

of archiving to a PC.

So just use multiple dreamboxes if you need more than 2..
