Hello All,
From what I have read and the like, HDMI is supposed to be a "secure" connection that does not allow recording. My experience so far bears this out. I have a Viewer Assist Satellite Television system, the satellite dish, the LNB, and the set top box. That said box is a UEC device, actually a custom Linux box with an infrared remote control for the choice of channel and the like. It has the outputs for component signal to the TV, and HDMI. I used to use it with an old style tube TV, to good effect, but it is now connected to a reasonable LED TV that has the option to record to USB, but will not do so for HDMI input.
Is there any way to subvert that, with a PC in the middle, is it even possible to put a HDMI signal into a PC, or is the PC out to a monitor only? Regards, Mark Trickett
