To preserve memorable moments

There are many moments that become historical. The hand of God Goal of Diego or Chango Cardenas halfcourt did in the final-Celtic Racing for the 1967 Intercontinental Cup. Both relive every single emotion. At other times, the VHS video recorders allowed cherishing what we saw on television. But they are already part of the past. DVD recorders that seemed able to replace them, never finished off. So how do you keep that sold us both and we saw on a screen?

Currently there are several options that are presented, but not so distributed. It is that one immediately thinks of YouTube. What put me in purchasing equipment or thinking about connections, if the total is what others rise to the Web? But here we are at the mercy of what others decide. We let have the power to choose. What’s more, if you want to take it one day, goodbye to that video?

So how can we do to make a file always available that we saw on TV? Fortunately, we have several choices to go through computers in general can receive digital television signal-smart TV, tablets and smart-phones or services that reach the screen through a cable or a satellite broadcast. Also, eventually, we can turn any monitor into a TV with an external tuner, through an ad hoc software, record what you see.

HOW TO DO IT WITH THE TV

Various models of the latest generation of smart TV of some brands have the ability if you connect them to a flash drive or an external hard disk to allow the recording of the channel that we have indicated there. A few years ago some screens with built-in storage units were sold, but it was a development that was unsuccessful. Today, companies like LG, Philips, Samsung, RCA and TCL sold equipment with recording function that comes through the open Digital TV signal (or TDA).

The marketing manager of TP Vision (Philips TV), Ariel Bruzzone said referring to the recording equipment brand that”to write the contents of the TDA is necessary to have a 250 GB hard drive minimum. Was be connected to the TV and format exclusively and uniquely for each team, as it is not a feature to pirate content. Once these steps can record and pause the content of TDA (Digital Television Broadcasting) to see when it wants. Philips in the Globally determined that the time is not only TDA and other sources such as DVD or Blu-Ray via HDMI, because that way they would be violating some copyright regulations”.

LG sold at the end of the last decade some called Scarlet TVs with built-in disk. Rita Barbieri, product manager of LG TV Argentina, said:”The Time Machine II role that some of our smart TV allows rewind, pause and re-watch programs as they are recorded in the internal memory, ranging from the 4 to 8 GB, depending on model. conectársele But can external drives up to 1 TB. They can be recorded while another channel looks and can be programmed, but always TDA”.

Of course, depending on the capacity of the storage unit is the number of minutes can be recorded. The writer proved how smart TV recording with a Samsung brand, the F5500 46 inch. Just put a USB flash drive of 16 GB, the team recognized it and asked to format it. This done, initially said not recognize the signal from digital cable service. But what I needed was an antenna, as the team has own decoder TDA. Depending on the location of the equipment and the characteristics of the environment where it is, it will require an antenna located inside the home, on the ceiling or just on the balcony.

Let’s not forget something: to record with a computer and not a service provider cable service TDA tuner and almost always with ad hoc antenna is required. TDA tuner can be external or next to the TV. There are bringing smart TV Tuner TDA, but do not allow recording. If you bought a TV in another country and have in mind to record with a USB flash drive or external hard drive connected to one of its USB ports, think that maybe we should add one TDA tuner.
