I have looked at posts an I want to get a pc and Bluray player for my Marquee 8000. In perfect world I would:

Download rented BD's as I watch them and save on my PC, building a library of movies.

Hook up my HR20 DirecTV HD receiver to my PC and save movies in HD to add to the library

As the library gets bigger, I would get a larger memory and/or burn BD of my own.

Sounds great huh?

Is this possible or will it be soon?????

There are at least a couple of other forums where this topic would be more appropriate, but... The short answer is that you can do exactly what you want do - rip HD-DVD and BD - but, at 25-30+ gigs per movie, you're going to need some serious drive space to build much of a 'library'.

As for DirecTV, I do exactly what you're talking about, but I have the older HD Tivo, not one of the new boxes.

As mentioned, it is possible but it isn't legal and the workarounds we speak of here are intended only to enable us to to continue watching our crt and other non-HDCP compliant displays. I'd rather that you take this sort of discussion elsewhere, if you don't mind.
