Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted February 10, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 I believe you can plug a flash drive into that port though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted February 10, 2013 Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 You guys. You can't save stuff from your DVR to a flash drive. LOL that's there for "future use" or, for some DVR boxes, to plug an external hard disk to it so you can increase your recording time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted February 10, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 Then tell me how the people that upload to YT get GH on there? I've always wanted to know. Honest question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AdelaideCate007 Posted February 10, 2013 Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 Does anyone want to start guessing what episodes they'll use? I think the following are probably sure bets: Clink/Boom Stone dies Luke and Laura's wedding Sonny leaves Brenda at the alter Sonny sees Brenda is alive One of the Nurse's Ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 10, 2013 Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 They use a PC DVR. I have a TV card in my PC which I use to record content. It comes with the HP Media Center PCs that Ive purchased, but you get get the card seperately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BingCherry Posted February 10, 2013 Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 Any guesses on what you think will DEFINITELY be featured? I'm guessing: L 'n L's wedding Luke and Laura's return BJ's heart Stone's death Clink-boom A Nurse's Ball or two Sonny shoots Carly Port Charles Hotel fire L 'n L's 2006 wedding MetroCourt Robin's "death" EDIT: Adelaide beat me to it on some things!

Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted February 10, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 Darn. I need to look into that when I get some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 10, 2013 Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 If you have Windows, you should already have Windows Media Center which comes with Windows Vista Premium and Windows 7. Thats the program used to do the recording. All you'd need to get after that is the hardware. I think its so much easier and more efficent to have my PC set up as a DVR than a standalone box. Makes it easy to move files around, edit, making gifs/clips, upload to YT, etc... And I dont have to pay a monthly fee to a cable company to use it. Plus space is never much of an issue as I can just shuffle things to an external hard drive or flashdrive for longterm backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted February 10, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 I have Windows 7 on my laptop. But, no sound card. So, would the DVR still work? Or, would it not record sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted February 11, 2013 Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 You'd need a TV tuner and the simplest options for laptop is getting a USB one like this: http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-1191-WinTV-HVR-950Q-Personal-Recorder/dp/B001DEYVXO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1360541755&sr=8-7&keywords=TV+TUNER Connect that to your PC and then your cable to the end and you can watch and record tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
