IP-HDVR FAQ
Can we daisy-chain RS-232 control as we do with 232-series CR tuners?
Yes. Up to nine IP-HDVR, 232-STS, 232-STA, and 232-MTA tuners are controllable from a single RS-232
control port. A command addressed to devices 1-9 will operate a specific tuner, all tuners will respond to
command sent to device 0.
Can the IP-HDVR be used as an HD video server?
No, but it’s a very common request. The internal drive records TV channels or AV input video so users
can watch programs at their leisure. Content-protection technology prevents external sharing of files to
and from the internal drive.
How does the unit schedule channel recording?
The IP-HDTV uses the built-in TV Guide EPG to schedule TV program recording. You can record video
from the AV inputs, but this must be done manually
.
How many hours of programming can be stored on the internal drive?
Recordings from analog broadcasts average 24-64 hours, depending on IP-HDTV quality
settings. Digital recording is preset, typically 21 hours for HD, 85 hours for SD. See page 18
for more information.
