Thanks for the caps.
I am still trying to figure out what I want to cap and how to go about it. I have had some issues. If I can get my act together, I would like to cap Martha daily. One problem is the set top box has been turning off abruptly overnights or when I sleep at night or go away. I had to talk to the cable company. Hopefully it is fixed now. But I use my capture card to record and every time it shuts off there goes the recording.
Another reason is I don't know how to set up the timer on the card because it is complicated. And I have to set reminders on the set top box to change the channels. Also the card doesn't like to record non-HD feeds if I am on a HD feed and flip then the recording goes off. So If I set it to change from a HD channel to one non-HD and don't have the timer figured out then it will shut off recording. I am forced to view Spanish channel, for example, in non-HD as the feeds are not in HD. So to record them after I record Fox News or a Local I would have to set up a recording to record the channel feed separately. It's complicated so I understand if a person who reads this is confused.
It's like this...since June every feed with a HD feed on the cable system is now the default channel. So Non-HD feeds are gone. But there are plenty of channels the cable company never added a HD feed from or never had a HD feed. So for example, QVC is in HD, but has my cable provider added the HSN HD feed? No. So the HSN feed is non-HD.
I gather most of you just want HD. But if I don't have access to a HD feed on a channel, I was thinking of just increasing the caps I would make to make them a little bigger and leave it at that. it wouldn't be 1920 x 1080 but so what. I don't mind.
I only aim to do caps because doing clips is too taxing and complicated for me. I don't have the right system, anyways, to do what others do I guess. I am not going to extract clips or try to convert a giant HD recording to a lower bit rate and format for uploading and downloading and for me to save. And then spend time figuring out a host to upload. It's too much work. I have other things to do that are more important.
I only aim to cap and delete recordings. Save on a DVD disk If I have to the caps.
