Hello,
I am looking for a DVR which can be used to digitise VHS cassettes and also for general use recording (analogue) output from my Sky box. I say 'hackable' because I would like to be able to get into the system so I can transfer recorded files onto a Linux server and use them with XBMC. I don't mind if the 'hacking' is technical, so long as it's possible, and I want to be sure that when I order the unit there will be some exploit that allows me to get the files into some format I can use from a PC. If the unit had an ethernet interface that would be a plus.
I would like good video quality, not so bothered about file size on the disk.
Can anyone advise me?
many thanks,
biff.
