Transfer Video to laptop 00:09 - Aug 28 with 645 views

How do I transfer Video — from my Sky box, or PVR to my laptop?

I think the HDMI port on the laptop is an output port only, so assume I’d need a HDMI/AV to USB adaptor and software?

Anyone know how (and what is best) to do this?

if you want to put it onto your computer you will need what is called a TV tuner.

Something like

I don’t want to watch TV, but transfer recordings I already have stored my Sky box and PVR. I want to transfer them to store on my laptop HD and external HD and also I want to transfer them to my iPad (which I can do if on my laptop).

As far as I know there is not a "quick" way to do it. as they are not stored as say AVI's or MGEG's or something, they are raw streams. And thats if they are not encrypted (a lot of the DVR boxes here in the states are, not sure about NZ). You could always plug in a DVD recorder and hit play and let it recordt them one by one via the output jack like a firewire or ethernet.

You could also do it the realtime way and just convert with a tv tuner.
