Irishsox1 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 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. Sony DVD Burner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony DVD Burner 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". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchtower41 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 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. http://www.tivo.com/2.1.2.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Balta1701 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
