Record Streaming From Computer to 722 Dish DVR

[CatTV]

Is it possible to connect a Hdmi (computer) to USB slot to Dish DVR and record streaming content? Still an active dish account. Realize dish encrypts content, but if played back on DVR does it work?

Nope.

You would need an HDMI splitter, ATSC modulator/encoder (such as the MUL-HDENC-C-100), attenuator pads, and some coax to go to the OTA input port on your 722. Doable, but expensive and totally not worth it. USB won't be involved.

Good luck with that.

Could use a USB capture card and the composite outputs. It would be SD though.

Hauppauge PVR 1212 records component video and Toslink audio in realtime.

The Hauppauge could easily record stuff coming out of the DVR. But for going into the DVR, as in the OP, you'd still need the ATSC Modulator. I think the question though is: Why does the OP want to do this? My guess is that he wanted to avoid buying any more devices. ie: was hoping that his DVR was a generic HD recorder.

It would be nice to be able to record (digital) video from Smart TVs in general (or even video viewed on a computer) I have a vintage DV(D)R, I was just looking at it and it only has a RCA video /audio input connections. (it has HDMI & Coax outputs only). My Wally box has RCA outputs I would assume they'd work with my DVDR unless DISH has write protected its content. (There are several stations on Cable now that write protect their broadcasts and my DVDR can't record them). I also have a Smart TV which seems to have no output connection (except for a Digital Optical output). If anyone knows of a obvious way to record from a Smart TV etc, please post. Thanks

In the old days of Computer Graphics, the one way was to create a shadow box around the CRT screen and use a film camera to record the contents of the screen. Today, you would use your Smartphone camera.

It isn't exactly lossless, but there is no Copy Protection that will get in the way. Audio can be captured from the TOSlink easy enough.

I have recorded occasionally direct from an LED TV to my smart phone but it is very difficult to sync the camera with the video causing distracting lines and other unwanted video interference.

Otherwise there is no way to record from a dumb or even a smart TV because that capability is not put in them to prevent exactly what you want.

An OTA tuner or satellite receiver with component outputs partnered with something like the Hauppauge PVR 212 USB connected to a computer or having a component/toslink or HDMI capture card in your computer is the only way without a dedicated ATSC DVR.

The best and easiest way is to buy a TiVo Roamio (their best ATSC DVR,though most are 10 years old) can record OTA TV (not ATSC3.0) and download it directly to a PC with TiVo Desktop or pytivo.

Thanks, maybe there is a way with a computer to put it in presentation mode (as if you were going to use a different monitor or projector) via a VGA connection or HDMI and mate that to the RCA cable for a recording input.
