I had an interesting discussion with a friend who is the VP of a large semiconductor company. We were talking about the outdated technology of PVRs and MPEG2 encoding. It was then that he mentioned that the current satellite systems like DishTV and TataSky may not work with a standard DVR.
On a little probing i got to learn that the DVRs have to get data in a format they can recognize to decode and the encode into the format to be written to the Disc. But since all DTH systems transmit using a proprietary protocol, the DVR cannot recognize this and considers it garbage.
However, i wasnt convinced and i will need to read up on the transmission protocols of these DTH systems to come to a conclusion.
