So how would you setup one of the tru2way TVs with an existing DVR (e.g. comcast, tivo 3 series, HTPC)? I'm assuming the TV has to talk straight to the cable company for tru2way, b/c the current DVRs don't support it. Would you have to output from your TV into one of the DVRs? Would you have to split the signal into the DVR and TV? Tru2ways give you the ability to ditch the cable company box which is nice.... but having a DVR is a much higher priority.
Just use the component/HDMI cable. You have to enable the tru2way mode to have that feature. Just plug in your DVR via Component/HDMI. There is nothing from stopping you from doing that it's the only way to do it unless they make a dual tuner model. One plan was to have a dual tuner set that used an eSATA drive as the DVR. That would reduce a point of failure since Hard drives do fail.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
