DVD Recorder for me

I tried the Hauppauge Video Card in my computer connected to the DirecTV Dish, worked ok, but for me the best way was a DVD recorder to record directly from the dish then play that DVD on my computer and convert the shows or movies to AVI files with Pocket DVD Studio.

Quality is really great and I keep the DVDs if it something I want to keep or rewrite them if they are expendable. I use DVD-RW disks to record on so they are rewriteable.

Enjoy,
