Pace twin hard disc and PC hard discs?

Hi there,

Does anybody know if you can remove the hard disc on the Pace Twin and
install it into a PC and transfer recorded programmes onto the PC hard
disc (and from there to DVD-R or VCD) in a watchable and editable
format?

The thought of "archiving" programmes from the Twin to VCR seems to be
missing the point if you have the programmes on disc in MPEG-2 (or
whatever) format anyway.

On a related point, is it possible to upgrade the hard disc of the
Twin to a larger capacity drive?

Of course, what I really want is a DTT box with a hard disc recorder
and a DVD recorder built in... Are there any on the horizon?

Cheers,

Ric.

I'd prefer a DTT with HDD and ethernet port to allow me to rip the file
over to a PC for editing and mastering onto DVD.

Search using PVR. Some satellite versions already have DVD and USB. But
they cost!
The the forecast DTT PVR market is half that of satellite, so I guess
they'll be there.

Hi

I can just about do this under Linux now, and nearly do it under
Windows. Search Google for more info. I'm not aware of anyone else
working on the same problem at present.
