If you go back to VCR days, when the first came out. But you do not OWN that content, say like when you buy a dvd, you pay for the right to own it. yes even if that viewing is later via a PVR, etc. unfortunately you dont own the SOFTWARE, technically.Īnd especially the CONTENT. Well you are partially right on the owning part. No need to buy external hard drives for the PVRs that would just get filled with ultimately unusable data without a Rogers subscription.

My solution to this was to just invest in a good TV capture device for my computer. It's like buying a computer hard drive, but everything you save on it is not your property. The way I see it, even if you buy your device outright, you never really own it.

Cisco's videoscape Voyager Vantage software is very powerful and solves almost all of these ddilemma, Rogers however chooses to lock this functionality with their devices. Meaning if you can get the data off of the DVR's hard drive, it would be unreadable. But Rogers adds another hurdle by eencrypting all the recordings on the hard drive. Hacking the software is relatively easy, as long as you know what you are doing. Even though the Cisco device supports data transfer to a computer or USB drive, ie data transfer ports and software capabilities, the Rogers UI prevents us from accessing that. I have actually research this subject in the past, and spoken with a very insightful Cisco programmer. For this reason alone they should provide the option of transferring recordings to another medium.

Hence the large and ever expanding hard drives. DVRs suck at being used for that purpose, however Rogers is very well aware that people would be using it like that.

so the whole argument that DDVD recordings are not for posterity, is flawed. However it makes one wonder why the hard drives are so large if the only intended purpose was for live television (pause/rewind/ffwd).Rogers marketed these devices as a replacement for VCRs, DVD recorders. Some people said DVRs aren't for prosperity which is technically true. Rogers has a knack for ignoring customer requests. Thanks for hearing me out, and everyone will love Rogers even more when they share this option! It's simply a matter of letting Rogers know what we want, and with patience, everything comes exactly when it should.

Take a movie of the TV! My point is, since we have these supercomputers - PVRs have impressive processors and are designed for us to be ecstatic with their capabilities - so we find the software guru who can activate a 'save to flash drive' or 'save to external drive' option from 'Recorded programs' in the 1056B01 handset to Nextbox 3. Of course there are many ways one can back-up the data coming into the house. The whole idea is Rogers is paid by us to help us be entertained and informed. If Rogers won't supply it, we find out who does, that Rogers doesn't mind us buying products from. Some stop there, others push the envelope, make requests that many many many people want and whala! Well, Lurkie, thanks for bringing me down to your harsh reality of they-don't-want-you-to-have-what-you-want. Its meant for timeshifting and temporary storage. As Rogers will remind anyone who listens, the PVR is not designed to be an archiving device, to keep memories for posterity.
