Heavy-handed enforcement

[sjhill01]

I understand that discussion of how to extract the raw data from the hard drive of PVR's is a violation of the agreement, but this thread (http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9218) wasn't asking about doing that, and was steering towards using analog video capture equipment to archive the data when Scott decided to close it.

This is a great forum, and I'm sure this won't ruin it, but I for one would like to see a little more though given to closing a thread; it seems like all you really cared was that the thread's title was suspicious so you closed it, regardless of the actual content.

I agree with Scott's decision to close the post. Your subsequent explanation above that you were "steering toward using analog video capture equipment..." sounds a little disingenuous.

Anyway, welcome to the forum. Now that you are registered, you can edit your posts. :)

Uh... it wasn't my post. I'm not really sure what you're talking about.

I was just a bystander who saw something that didn't jive. And if you go read the posts, you'll see that even the original poster had moved from a simple question about using the USB port (to which the answer was simply 'No' to "what kind of pc tv capture card can I use to record shows since my VCR is busted and my WinTV card had interference lines in it's recordings?"

So:
A. I was not "steering" anything.
B. It wasn't disingenuous; the posts support what I said 100%, and anyone reading them would see that.
C. Since it wasn't my post, I can't edit squat.

sjhill01, you are correct. I didn't pay attention to who posted what sounded like a rebuttal.

Sorry, my bad. :(
