transfer recordings from rogers pvr to usb

the ClonerAlliance ones, they cost 150-250 quid IIRC. Well if you want to spend the money and are a patient kinda guy, you could shell out on one of those HDMI-protection-stripper recorders e.g. I've decided to stick with my old PVR for the time being and have ordered the appropriate scart/hdmi adaptor to connect it to the new TV. ChrisFrost I'm afraid your remedy is probably beyond my capabilities. Something such as a news item or some kind of magazine programme are unlikely to be available that easily this way. Have you had a look on Youtube or the streaming services to see if the programmes are available online? Or s/h DVDs if this is a TV series? This obviously only works for productions. Some other options are putting the machine in the hands of someone a bit more tech ready so they can do the file transfer, or giving the machine to a facilities house for them to make a copy on to DVD, but that would be very likely to fall foul of copyright infringement. This will drop some quality compared to the lossless direct transfer of a data file. Aside from requiring a PC, the other catch is that you'll be using composite video via the yellow RCA connector. This is a bit like doing a video-to-video transfer, but the recording is made to a receiving PC using the capture card to digitise the incoming signal. Ruling out the PC route also rules out the other practical option of a USB video capture device. That's not a major problem as there are software interfaces that will handle an external Linux HDD on a Windows PC, but it's some extra work. The HDD won't appear immediately on a Windows PC because the drive is formatted for Linux. That's only the first step down the road on that path. You've already said you don't want to use a PC for this, so that rules out opening the machine and making a direct connection to the internal HDD. Without a USB socket (and the appropriate bits of software in the machine to support external USB hard drives), then your options for file transfer are far more limited.

Not so good is the lack of any way to connect so kind of external hard drive. The 9150T is a standard definition recorder, so the files might not be encrypted which is usually the biggest roadblock to any file transfer attempts.
