[sabir]

HiI have a LG DVD Recorder DR165W i have use it to record Tata Sky programms & Tata Sky uses MPEG2 format for broadcasting, if Tata Sky upgrades to MPEG4 or say i want to switch to Big TV or Videocon or Bharti in the Future, does my DVD Recorder becomes rebundant, or i can continue to record shows in MPEG2 even when the Signal is in MPEG 4, Sabir

yes u can, cos the recorder will be recording the decoded signal from the stb.here's the process:satellite mpeg-4 signal goes to the mpeg-4 stb which converts it into a clean decoded signal and then sends it to dvr which converts the clean signal to mpeg-2 to be used for writing to dvd.

Hi, I checked the India specific websites of LG, Sony and Phillips. No where could I see DVD Recorder details. Are any of these companies selling DVD Recorders in India?

Hi Sabir, In which file format does the DVD Recorder record the TV programmes? AVI/ MPEG/ or DVD format?

 

[talyan]

Why no DVD recorder details available on web sites of Sony,Philips,etc in INDIA.Why dvd recorders are not popular in INDIA.In showrooms no DVD recorders available.WHY??????????

 

[droidsuree]

DVD recorders are not popular due to availability of pirated DVDs at cheap cost.. so no one will sit n record stuff they will buy it off the grey market for cheap...
