DVR - PC CONNECT

Can anyone tell me how to connect my Verizon FIOS DVR to my PC so I can transfer my movies off of it like I did with my awesome TiVo?
Solved!

I have an older Sony Digital-8 camcorder, and I simply connect the camera's A/V cable to the set top box.  I can record onto the camera tape, or (better) connect my camera to my PC at the sametime via firewire and use my movie software to capture the program.  It works great (so far).

  • Replay DVRs can connect to Internet, but not each other through new AEBS

    I have a new AEBS and have had a few problems with it. After experiencing a lot of signal dropping I rolled the firmware back to 7.2 and that seemed to fix those issues.
    Unfortunately, I'm still having one major problem. I have two RePlay DVRs wired to the AEBS. They can both connect to the Internet. (I know this because the TV guides are continuing to update.) But they cannot talk to each other. They should recognize each other and I should be able to watch files on one machine with the other. I could do this with no problem with my previous router. Does anyone else have this problem?? Anyone have any ideas on what to do??

    Can anyone give me a clue? Should I exchange the AEBS, or is there a setting I could tweak??

  • DirecTV DVR HR20 connect to internet via Time Capsule

    Hi Everyone,
    I've searched and come across various topics about connecting the DirecTV DVR to the internet via Time Capsule, but none of them seem to provide a solution for wireless connectivity. 
    Can anyone point me to a topic where it describes the steps and any issues related to getting my DirecTV DVR connected to the internet via the Time Capsule wirelessly.
    I have gone through the setup and I get connected to my network, but I get the error when it tries to connect to the internet.
    Do I have to do any port forwarding or anything special?
    I use to have my Netgear supporting this configuration, just purchased the Time Capsule and now I cannot get my DVR connected.
    Thanks for the support
    Jeff...

    The Direct TV DVR has an Ethernet connection on the back, which is strongly recommended if you intend to download movies or any kind of high definition material.
    If you are trying to use the new Whole Home feature, wireless is not supported by Direct TV for this service.
    If you are trying to connect to the DVR using wireless from the Time Capsule, you must be using some sort of wireless to Ethernet bridge device.
    What device are you trying to use?
    Have you verified that this device is compatible with the Time Capsule?
    As a test, connect the adapter/bridge to your laptop and turn the wireless off on the laptop. Open your browser to see if you can get an Internet connection.
    If you can, you know the network connection is good and the focus shifts to the DVR as the source of the problem.
    If you can't, we'll need to figure out if the adapter you are using will work the Time Capsule.

  • Internet problems with an RV-082 Router and Swann DVR connected.

    I have a problem from the twilight zone.  When my Swann DVR (CONVR-B163MP) is NOT connected I can access the internet without any problems.  When the Swann DVR is connected, I lose access to Google and secure "Log-in" webpages.  It is as if there is a firewall blocking them.  I can access most normal websites without any problems.  Once the problem occurs, I need to reboot the router in order to gain clear access again.  Just unplugging the DVR will not fix it.
    I have a resolution by connecting an older router directly to the WAN, then linking that router to the Cisco RV-082.  I have access controlled by MAC codes and took off the DVR to prevent it from getting access to the Cisco RV-082.  The DVR is connected to  the older router to get to the internet.
    It is just a strange problem.
    The Swann DVR is working through the internet to provide a live video feed to my phone.
    If anyone knows an answer I would be glad to hear it.

  • DVR Connection Lost

    When I am recording two programs running simultaneously, my DVR loses connection with the FIOS network for a period of a minute or two.  It will reestablish itself, but I lose a short period of content of one of the programs.  When my recording is posted on the listing of recordings it is in two pieces with the earlier recorded piece listed last.  I have switched DVRs once already, but the problem has reoccured on the replacement DVR as well.

    If the DVR has been replaced and the same thing is happening, its not an issue with the unit itself. Dropouts like that are signal related. I have sent you a private message to get more info.

  • New 500 GB DVR Multi Room Not working!

    I received the new 500 GB DVR this past Friday and set it up over the weekend. I'm having issues with viewing the new content on the new DVR with other STBs.
    I've tried rebooting all the boxes and unplug each one but still get the same message that There was error connecting to the DVR STB. It's almost like the boxes are trying to still access the previous DVR. I tried to submit to Verizon Support on Twitter and it's been 3 days without hearing back if they had a solution. They tell me the same cut and paste message they give everyone to DM them on Twitter and here is the link to the form but then you don't hear back at all.
    Has anyone else experienced issues with the new 500 GB DVR and Multi Room access?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I switched from a 7216 MR-DVR to a 7232 and had tech support switch the MR feature to the new box, and have no problems. The STBs and DVRs talk to each other on their own little MoCA network. COAX or splitter issues can cause problems. Router not involved. I have MRDVR running and all routing functions are turned off on the Actiontec, and the the WAN ports are not even connected. The Actiontec is bridge LAN to MoCA. My router is a Linux box. The Actiontec does filter STB broadcast traffic from my LAN. It sees no MoCA traffic except for VOD and guide updates. All other UDP broadcast traffic is blocked on the bridge.
    The hub errors people were seeing on the older 1.7 img were not HUB as in router related. The hub acts as the master on the MoCA network. Looking at the STB diagnostic menu D16 for "Connected Home" my DVR shows as the hub and is verified by the MAC address my Linux box assigns an IP address to. If you are having Multi Room DVR issues I can almost guarantee that it is not a router issue. Check and make sure you have good quality RG-6 coax and the proper splitter(s). Make sure there is no line loss or interference between the boxes. Also make sure Multi Room is assigned properly only to the DVR wanting to be the Multi Room DVR. It can not be assigned to more than one DVR. Now with the 1.9 image the rules may change, but I am not sure. Right now it is my understanding that only one DVR can be the HUB. Now that may be changing, we will need to wait and see. I believe it will change.
    Now back to removing the old DVR and having Multi Room Enabled on your new DVR. You may want to have both DVRs connected so the feature can be disabled on the old DVR and enabled on the new. If you do not do this and reconnect the old DVR you may end up with two trying to act as HUBs. May not work well with 1.8. Not saying I know for sure, and my assumptions are only based on observations. But when I had Multi Room moved from old to new, both my DVRs were connected, and my system works great.

  • How can I access my home security DVR from the internet?

    My Time Capsule (as a router and not a bridge) blocks me from accessing my home security DVR from the internet.  I can access it from other computers connected to my LAN but not from the internet.  I guess it's a firewall setting issue.  I can't add the home security application to the list of firewall allowed incoming connections since it's a Windows app that I cannot install on my Mac.  On the other hand, the app is installed on my old PC but I can't access the Mac firwall settings from the PC and add the security app (If that's the problem).
    My DVR is connected to a Netgear switch which is connected to the Time Capsule which is connected to a Cisco modem provided by Comcast. I thought one of the modem ports had to be opened by Comcast. That was not the issue.  After spending 2 hours on the phone with Comcast going in circles talking to 10 different overseas agents, they concluded the Netgear switch was blocking me from accessing the DVR.  I think they are wrong and that it's a Mac firewall problem.  HELP!!!  Does anyone know what could be the problem and how to solve it?

    Did you forward the required ports in the TIme Capsule? If not it won't work.. it has nothing to do with firewall unless the DVR is plugged into the Mac. If it is plugged into a switch you need to lock the IP of the DVR and find out what ports are required.. usually just port 80, ie html.. but it could be some others.
    Since Apple do not use upnp to open ports.. the TC will have to manually be provided with the ports.. Apple use PMP-NAT that is not used by the rest of the known world.. Just to ensure you stay in the camp.

  • Fed Up with FiOS DVR 7216 - Convince Me NOT to Buy a TIVO

    My network:  Mid Tier Internet, MultiRoom DVR on Std Def TV, HD STB (to share DVR), 2 basic STBs.
    I can't tell if it's the DVR itself or if it's the way the programming comes into the house (i.e. bouncing around the internal network), but too often I get chop.  The audio stream stays intact and live, but the video stream chops and drops maybe 5 to 10 frames per second making it really really painful when watching sports.
    This happens on live TV, it happens on multiple channels, it happens on DVR playback when the DVR isn't recording something else, and DVR playback when the DVR is recording something else.  And this is happening on the TV to which the DVR is connected (so I don't think it's related to multi-room streaming.)  Specifically, it happens a lot and under a host of different circumstances.
    I have done a few tests on the DVR playback side since I can control it.  I am watching, I get chop, I flip back 10 seconds and play through the same time period again.... no chop.  That tells me it wasn't recording it choppy, it was playing it back choppy, which leads me to conclude this DVR sucks.  It can't handle the most basic function of a DVR - playback on the tv to which it's connected without any issues.  A VCR would do better than this piece of junk.
    I pay $20 / month for this DVR.  If I have to shell out $300 for a Tivo XL and then pay the same $20 / month to get a DVR that works and doesn't chop up all my programming, then it's worth it to me.  Oh, and don't get me started on how lame I think the DVR software is.  When I pause a sporting event with virtually nothing saved on the DVR, I only get 10 minutes of pause?  And then when it unpauses it takes me back to live tv instead of resuming from the pause?  Absolutely ridiculous - it makes the thing completely unusable for my purposes.  I don't know if this 1.9 software will make a difference, but I'm pretty fed up with this piece of crap DVR BOTH from a hardware and software perspective.
    Can somebody shed any light on these issues or give me any reason to not ditch the FiOS DVR?  Even worst, is there any indication these problems could be deeper rooted than the DVR?  I would be REALLY **bleep** if I move to TIVO and end up with the same issues.

    Have you contacted Verizon support about your problem?  Sounds like your STB is sick.  So if you haven't let Verizon work the problem, you have an important step to take before you consider Tivo or any other solution.

  • Time Capsule:  Need help accessing my video surveillance DVR from the Internet.

    I am using the latest 4th Generation Time Capsule attached to a DSL Modem.  My 4 video Survilance DVR is connected to a switch then to the Time Capsule.  How or what is needed to be able to access the DVR via the internet.  I am able to access the DVR from within the home network only.  Would appreciate some guidance.
    Thanks in advance.

    Is the modem bridged?
    If not and working in router mode then the TC should be bridged.. this will never work if you have double NAT.
    Whichever box is the main router will need to forward the required ports for the camera dvr.. does the software use port 80 ie html?? That means you just forward port 80 to the IP address of the dvr. But find out the port.. the dvr instructions should tell you. Port forwarding on the TC.. ain't hard.. just google for the instructions. If the dsl modem is router, read its manual.
    You will need to lock the ip of the dvr so it doesn't shift. Do that in the router if possible but I am not sure you can on the TC. You will need to do it on the device using a static ip.
    The other thing is public IP .. do you have a static public address.. if not you will need to run dyndns. this is not available in the TC.. as most things are not available. So you will also need to check the dvr remote access instructions as it might have a dyndns client.. or you will have to use dsl modem as router even if you currently bridge it.
    Sorry this is making it complicated.
    Give some feedback and we can go from there.
    What is the main router?
    What modem is it exactly?
    What make and model is the DVR? A URL to the pdf manual will help if it gets complicated.
    What port do you use to access the DVR?
    Is there a dyndns client in the dvr?

  • Apple TV connection.

    I have a relatively new Yamaha receiver with surround sound to which a blueray and a DVR are connected to . All feeds to a Panasonic plasma. The connection instructions say to connect Apple TV to the TV via HDMI. My tv doesn't have an HDMI connection. The Yamaha receiver has 4 HDMI slots available so I connected Apple TV to one of those slots but nothing appears on the tv. Are there any suggestions before I have to call an expert to try to connect this thing?

    It should work if connected by HDMI to your Yamaha receiver. Check the settings on the Yamaha and make sure the ATV input is being selected correctly.
    If you don't get any video at all, you may need to connect it to your TV by component cables in order to adjust the ATV's video output settings. If your TV has a DVI or VGA connector, you could use an HDMI to DVI or HDMI to VGA cable and run the audio to the Yamaha separately.

  • Connecting Panasonic HD TVs to HD Cable box

    I have 2 HD Panasonic TVS. I have tried to connect them to a Verizon 6200 Cable box. This does not have a DVR. When I connect using the HDMI connetion there is no picture or sound. If I connect these TVS to a HD CAble box with multi room DVR they connect.
    I have contacted Panasonic and Verizon and have received little help.

    This post belongs in the FiOS TV Technical Assistance board, but I will reply.
    Need more information on your setup. What is your DVR box model?
    Have you tried the 6200s with component cables? If so do they work?
    Are the 6200 doxes connected directly HDMI to the TV?
    I have heard of issues with HDMI and QIP-6xxx series boxes, and much has been done to resolve these issues with upgrades and changes to the img software. If you must have HDMI and the DVR is the QIP-7xxx series, you may want to see if you can get the QIP-6200 boxes upgraded. But it may be difficult to get both boxes replaced if component cables work.

  • Advise Using Base Station as wireless and wired connection

    I have an Airport Extreme dual N base station. I want to use it as a wireless base station to connect to the Internet and use the ethernet ports on the base station to connect to my security camera's DVR, to connect a Vonage phone and to plug into my computer on my desk. I have 5 static IPs which I don't have to use.
    Is this possible and if it is could someone give me some pointers with hand holding on how to do it?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Did you connect them together and experience a problem?

  • Upstairs STB can't see the downstairs DVR recorded shows

    Hi all,
    I have the DVR downstairs and 2 STBs upstairs.  As far as I can tell, the upstairs boxes are doing everything well except for one issue; they are unable to access and play the shows that I have recorded downstairs on the DVR. I have tried the suggested troubleshooting. I unplugged all 3 units and the router for 1 minute, then powered up the router, DVR, and STBs in that order (letting each finish before moving on to the next). The only thing I did since I got FiOS is to change the router SSID and also disabled broadcasting the SSID. I haven't changed the WEP that the technician entered.  Do the STBs need the router to broadcast in order to be able to play the DVR-recorded content? Do I need to keep the defaults (I don't really want to broadcast the SSID).
    I ran the diagnostics on the STB and everything looked good except for two items;  "Remote DVR: Not Applicable" and "DVR Hub Connection: Failed."  Are these normal or can they be the source of my problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    DVR Hub connection Failed is a problem.  Call Verizon.  For some reason - the DVR is not communicating w/ the router.  The SSID is not the issue.  Does your settop have an IP address?

  • Severe audio sync issues with DVR and RAI(Italian) channel.

    Having severe audio sync issues with the Motorola QIP6416-2 while
    watching RAI(Italian) channel. The audio is about 2 seconds behind
    the video. This is the only channel it seems to happen with.
    I just switched from Cablevision about a week ago and never had a
    sync issue with their DVR with the same RAI channel or any channel.
    I've tried changing hdmi cables with no success and I also went to
    component video cables but the problem remains. Resetting the
    box helps but within 15 minutes the sync issues return. Also,
    a channel change and back helps briefly,
    The only new piece of equipment in the mix is the Motorola DVR,
    nothing else has changed.  The DVR is connected directly to my
    tv.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Mike

    Being a foreign channel, there may be something screwy with the framerate (PAL conversion?). I don't personally subscribe to any foreign languages channels and I doubt too many on this forum do either, so you may have trouble finding someone to replicate the problem on their end here.
