you can't record at all?


I mean, obviously it wouldn't be all fancypants, but is there no way to just record what it is you're playing back on tellie?
Title: Re: Isle of Man TT on HD Theater
Post by: dbran1949 on July 13, 2009, 02:09:38 PM
Because of DRM there is no way to get even a low resolution version of HD onto a VCR. It may be possible with some kind of hax0r mods to the cable box, but they don't make it easy

I'm TiVo'ing it, but there's no way to get it off there that I know of.

fasterblkduc -- you can probably catch it at a local bar.  Channel 412 @ 8pm.

Is there no direct feed that can be watched on your computer ?

I would think some body is feeding it live over the net .

That was fantastic - rarely get to see moto racing in HD.

Can't material for most DVR's be transferred to hard drives?

That works for non-HD tivo.  HD shows have DRM that prevents them from being shared online.

either way, Isle of Man HD was awesome.  That slowmo footage was just ridiculously cool.

SOME hd shows have the do-not-copy flag set... give it a whirl and see what happens.

i've never had a problem downloading any programs, hd or not, from my tivo.

I liked Bradly Smith's face when they told him about going 6th gear flat out through the bend. IOM is definetly more ballsy than any other road racing around.

Well..I hate to beg but has anyone an invite for Racing Underground laying around ?
In this part of the world its just impossible to get into the HD theater and I really would loooove to see that stuff.

I have to agree, the footage being shown on HD Theater is amazing.

Nothing better than slow motion HD! [bacon]

The sidecar races were last week. They had ok coverage. There seems to be a lot of fluff and a bit of racing...

Incredible footage from the  Supersport TT tonight.  [thumbsup]

140mph plus, and both wheels off the ground.  [evil]

Isle of Man = Awesome! I have to wonder about the sidecars, though...great to watch, but I can't imagine how many  [drink] it takes to sign up for that one.

IOM TT is the Ultimate .

I can't imagine how big your balls have to be to race that Course at those speeds !

I watched the Supersport tonight...  It's crazy watching them avoid tankslappers and wheelies coming over those ridges at 100+ mph.  Seriously those guys have way more intestinal fortitude than I.  Great racing though.  I love the part in the commentary where they reference that the helicopter can't keep up with the bikes.  It just catches up by cutting the corners.   :o

Love watching this stuff. It's too bad they don't broadcast any of the other Irish Road Racing races over here. Some of those are just as nuts.

I loved the slo-mo frames of the riders going airborne.  I'm guessing that steering dampers are absolutely mandatory.  [laugh]

I also noted that there's an episode of Twist the Throttle that's focused on Ducati.  I'm set to record that, too.   [thumbsup]

Was it just me, or did the "Tea" segment from last week with Guy Martin seem like a comedy routine with Guy Ritchie holding up Cue cards?
