Any people good with technology.

 

Can you please pm me if you know how to turn tivo recording into DVD's or is that a pipe dream.

I Tivo'ed all of the games in HD, ripped them onto my computer and dubbed the radio audio over and made my own DVD's...they are amazing.

hook it up to a media center PC or go buy a TiVO with DVD burner on it. It is that simple.

For all of the Tivo users, I recommend this Sony portable DVD burner. You can hook it up to the Tivo through the red, white and yellow cables or S-Video and you can hook it up to your computer and use it as a burner/drive. It can set chapters, burn double layer discs and other stuff. I highly recommend it.

That is flat out awesome.

 

Should this be pinned?? I'm sure everybody would want to know about this, and most would want to watch at least some of the stuff.

 

 

I agree. I will want to check this every few days to see what games will be coming up next. Please, someone in authority, put up on top.

Just a little tip, use an S-Video cable, it will give you a lot better video quality, you'll still have to use the red and white for sound.....or you can pick up some Monster AV cables they are a little bit pricey but if you want the best possible DVD burn this will be it.

Hehe.. when we bought the monstrosity of a tv we have I bought every kind of those cables I could find.. I got yelled at cause they were so expensive and I, of course, tossed the receipt. Now I can say.. "see.. I knew we'd need them". :lol:

you can get a Tivo dvd recorder for 199.99 with rebate right now. I believe they offer this same deal at Best Buy. I was kinded bumnmed that I missed out on the opportunity to burn all the games, COmcast comes through in the clutch!!! This is about the best thing they have accomplished since going live. I can't say that Sportsvision or Fox Sports Net would have gone through this trouble in the past, I cant imagine what went into all the liscensing for these.

I'm happy I'll get to see a majority of this while home on breaks, and I'll tape those.

 

I'll have to request tapings of this from the people at home for the rest.    :D

 

amen to that, i was so happy to see how i'll be home for nearly all of em

Wow. I bet it took some serious technological expertise to synchronize the picture with Ed and John's radio play-by-play. Is there a delay at all or were you able to line them up? If you did synchronize them, that's SO awesome.

 

Any chance you could put those DVDs on the internet or burn some more and send them to me?

 

I'd seriously pay you.

Does anyone know if this will go out over normal comcast...i.e. if DirecTV will filter the games out, or if they'll allow them to be broadcast? I can get CSN through DirecTV's sports pack, but the sports pack alone does not include the MLB Games.

 

Or, alternatively, does anyone have a customer service number or email at Comcast that I can call and ask?
