I don't see how that would work.
I used to own a ReplayTV with Commerical Advance and am currently without a DVR. I also canceled cable. I recently bought a Mohu Leaf and can get plenty of digital channels. I discovered that with my Samsung TV UN40C6300, I can set the TV to actually change channels on its own, using a timer function. So here's my geek question for you fellow geek techies:
Could you use a Mohu Leaf (or another HDTV OTA tuner) connected to a DVR (such as a ReplayTV), and then connect it to your Samsung, and use the Samsung's timer function to change channels? That way, you could set the TV to change channels, and use the DVR on a default channel without any programming guide information, and have it capture the HDTV signal. Hope I'm making sense. I wish I had a DVR to test this out, but I don't. What do you all think?
