I hooked up my computer to my Motorola 6412 this weekend and I have a few questions. I'm using capdvhs to capture.

I was able to capture some channels. I tried one analog and it worked and i was able to capture UHD.

I tried to capture the local HD channels and I had no luck. I looked at the 5C settings and there was no pattern. The UHD and the analog channel I captured had the same settings as the channels that I couldn't capture (5C=0). Of the channels I checked, none had the 5C setting at 1 or above.

This is my interpretation of the 5C setting. I would change the cable box to the channel I wanted to check. I would bring up the menu and check the 5C setting. If it was 0, I should be able to capture. If anything other than zero, I can't capture it.

I also couldn't capture the DVR recordings I had. The three I have are Ghost Whisperer, American Idol, and the Super Bowl XL. None will capture.

My questions are the following.

Is my interpretation of checking the 5C setting correct?
Can DVR recorded programs be captured?
Is there anything else that will explain this sporadic behavior?
This board has already been a great help.

Thanks for the assistance!
