hey guys, I need a techie-type person's help.
I have the comcast digital cable DVR thing in my house, I noticed how it has a USB connector and "smart card" connector. Is it possible to download recorded shows off the device and put them on say, an ipod video or the like? I've just read a bunch of reviews on the video ipod and it seems like it is not possible since it only supports a couple of types of video formats, but what about other players, like the ones from Creative that can play all kinds of video formats?
anyone ever try this with the comcast box?
