[QUOTE="CanadianEh, post: 1053404, member: 114499"] So... a couple of things. Is your DirecTV box a standard-def or high-definition receiver? Are you expecting to be able to capture HD from the DirecTV STB? If so, the HVR-1850 is not capable of capturing HD signal, as it's only inputs are coax (SD), RCA/Composite (SD), and S-Video (slightly higher than SD). You would need a Hauppauge HD-PVR, or a Hauppauge Colossus to capture using component (the R-G-B cables) video output. One other thing I wanted to point out, is that some of the newer DirecTV boxes have ethernet ports on them, which if you search these forums, there is a DirecTV SHEF plugin that will let you perform the channel changes over ethernet. I'm not aware of a way over USB, but I suppose that could exist, as well. [/QUOTE]
