[gentoo-user] OT - Accessing the Digital Cable DVR...

[Michael Sullivan]

I've hooked my digital cable DVR to my PC via an A-to-A  USB cord, and
I'm wondering if I can copy programs recorded on the DVR to the PC.  In
dmesg, I saw the following:

usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new interface driver hub
usbcore: registered new device driver usb
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1

I'm wondering if that Mass Storage support is my DVR.  Could anyone give
me any hints on this?  I got the DVR from the cable company...

This may or maynot work.

Install ivman and then plug in the usb cable. My video camera's HDD
is auto discovered this way, and then I just copy over the files,
from /media/<whatever> to where I want them.

I have fat, vfat and ntfs supported by compiling into the kernel.
It helps and most things I plug into a usb port that are intended
for doz, just pop up, via ivman...

If that does not work, there is a book out about 'Hacking the Cable
Modem'. It may give you some ideas.... The author is DerEngel. Never 
looked at the book, so I cannot tell you if it will be useful.




good hunting...
