I am currently using NPVR to record from a satellite. I am thinking of cutting the cord and going with Charter's new streaming service for internet-only customers which runs off of a Roku box (although I think you can run it off PC too)
I would like to continue to be able to record the TV shows. Playback off HTPC is fine as it is hookup anyway.
Can I do this?
My questions:
1. How do I select the channel/stream to record? I have not used Roku but I assume it is interactive stream selection which will not mesh with the IRblaster sending out a channel number like I have now.
2. Any concerns with copy protected HDMI signal from Roku to PC tuner card?
(I did search forums and found stuff on using Roku to access the NPVR server but that is not what I want. I want DVR of the liveTV streams (US networks mostly but I don't have good antennae option)
