tech question
Anyone out there who can answer this sight-unseen?
On Saturday, I took my old non-functioning cable box (well, non-functioning; it brought the cable in, but it freaked out and quit working quite a lot, and sometimes even when it was working it haughtily informed me its recording side was unavailable) back to the office and got a new one. And the new one has a USB port in its front. Does this mean I can get stuff off my TV/DVR into my computer? Does it mean I can play things from my computer on the television? Does it, miraculously, mean both? (I see, now that I've found the thing via google, that there's a lot of documentation. So maybe in a few minutes I'll go hunting for the answer myself. :->)
