This one is a very interesting subject, and I am not 100 % sure I got it all sussed out. But I did managed to record some FTA channels. At this stage I haven't found a way to record non FTA channels (I use my PC based card for this...)
The two methods I have found are either with Tuxvision, and the other using the ggrab program. To start with lets have a look at the Windows based method.
First you need a program called Tuxvision, you can perform a google search for it or maybe go to
http://www.dbox2.info/download.php?viewpage=2&catid=5
After downloading and installing the program you need to open up the options and put in the IP of your box, login & password of your box. (screenshot 1).
Then you need to choose a destination where you want the files to go, this is done by clicking the "Destination" button on the bottom left corner.
Pressing the recording button will start to put a file in your destination folder. It does seem the program does take some time, so be a bit patient. You can then watch it using a program like windows media player. There are some settings there that I am not sure about, I hope that some of the more experienced users here will tell me more about this.
If the ngrab settings in the expert settings of your dreambox are set with the correct IP address, you can start recording using the blue button of the remote, then plugins/start ngrab recording provided the tuxvision prog is up and running on your computer.
More to follow on this subject!
