Downloading from 522

[nastinator]

Is it possible to download recorded programs from the 522 to another computer? I notice there is a USB port on the back of the DVR, what is that used for, periphials? I would really like to be able transfer the shows to my computer so i can burn them onto a DVD. Any info that could help me is appreciated

Maybe someday, but not yet. Meanwhile, just buy a Dazzle or some such. It's got RCA & S-Video & stereo inputs and a USB output.

SimpleSimon,

Do you have any other information on what a "Dazzle" can and cannot do? A google turned up several tap-dance troups, but no information on a USB-based transfer device. How does the Dazzle pull information off the DVR? Is it a telnet hack like those available for Tivo?

Panasonics dvd recoders have dvd ram discs that you are able to edit as well as some of the newer ones with hard drives that you can edit the programming with.
