I have been having the same problem! I recently purchased the JVC 3000U digital HDTV VCR with the express intention of recording High Definition programs being broadcast over DirecTV. I NEED TO RECORD FROM the satellite because my home is in an are full of hills & valleys, and the terrestrial ("Over-The-Air")reception is not adequate. The JVC VCR will ONLY accept HDTV signals via "FireWire" (digital) input. My Mitsubishi High Definition Satellite Receiver only outputs "Component Video" (analog). Therefore, I can't connect. AARRRGGGGHHHhhhh!Please help! Does anyone know the answer to either of the following questions:
(1) Is there any way that I can convert "Component Video" to "FireWire"? How about if I somehow route the signal through my Sony digital camcorder, whichh has a "FireWire" output?
(2) Or better yet, are there ANY HDTV Satellite Receivers that have a "FireWire" output?Thanks for helping!
