I'm interested in doing this as well since Verizon FIOS is going to start
marking some channels copy-once at the end of the month. I have 3 of the
Hauppauge DCR-2650, which are very similar to the HDHR Prime, and I find if I
tune to a channel marked as anything other than copy freely the frontend I'm
using freezes on a black screen. All of my frontends are using moderately old
nvidia cards, mostly gforce 210's, although I do some testing with an old Dell
D820 with some mobile nvidia chipset. Is this normal, because that will making
looking through the channels for copy-once channels to delete rather time consuming.
Thanks!
