Applian record is so old. And expensive.

There's a better free Slingbox recorder. It's called mReplay Live, and you can watch, control, record, edit and share you Slingbox... all in a browser.

It's only in beta, but getting better every day. Just the fact that you can record full durations but also "back in time" recording (last 30 or 60 seconds of what you just saw) with just one click.

mReplay Live is free and allows to record + edit your recordings. Sharing recordings is illegal in many cases, and mReplay users might not be aware of it.

At-Large Recorder can record from Slingbox. And unlike mReplay Live it can schedule your recordings.

Oh goodness.. I had no idea this website was an Applian lovefest forum.

mReplay Live is not illegal, and it's slanderous to suggest it is. It's classic Sony BetaMax, Supreme Court fair use protection, and I would question the entire integrety of this forum when one solution/company is favored over another. People have a right to time shift... and record. Half of Applian's products are designed to circumvent DRM protection and are illegal... so I find it highly ironic, or suspecious that you would write this. It reeks of company influence.

mReplay Live also offers "Back in time" recording... when you are either recording full durations, or are not recording at all, and see something you want to save.... you just click the 30 or 60 second button and it saves the last 30 or 60 seconds of your Slingbox... just like that. It's great for clipping tv or when you see a great sports highlight. How do you do that Applian "At-large"?

Excuse me for not praising mReplay Live and comparing it to At-Large Recorder

Dear Jacob, If you do not understand the difference between "Sharing recordings is illegal in many cases" and "mReplay Live is illegal" then I have nothing to add.
Obviously when talking about the legitimacy there is no difference between sharing your TV recordings on p2p web-sites and say sharing them via YouTube with mReplay Live.

Half of Applian's products are designed to circumvent DRM protection and are illegal...

I wish I knew that before... I would have added these products to undrm.info then. By the way I still wonder what Applian's product are designed to circumvent DRM protection? Do they hide something from me?

No, why would you, this is an Applian forum, where you push Applian products. Understood. But now it's time for a lesson:

If you think all of TV, everywhere, is copyrighted, then yes, there is no reason to continue this discussion. For example, most of our TV in Europe is not copyrighted, since it comes from TV licensing fees (they tax how many TVs we have). There are channels and programs in the states that carry the same or similar quality as being supported by government taxes, although understandably less so than the rest of the world. For example, it is legal to record a high school football game, or even a program supported by the US government like an Army ad or all of Fox News (kidding).

I use an Applian product that is very clearly breaking several DRMs and laws, and I'm proud of it. But I just don't think you or Applian is in any position to question the legalities of anyone elses products. People should be fighting back to companies (mostly from the states) who are pushing DRM aggressively and preventing fair use.

As you said in your comparison, mReplay Live is in the same legal category as YouTube, as providers of online tools to allow, but who also discourage copyright infringement.

If you wanna think so, I see no problem in that.
However I really think that Applian has a great line of unmatched software products.

How can users distinguish between copyrighted and non-copyrighted TV shows?

You can use a gasoline-powered saw to break the law and to cut trees, it is really up to you. Applian products themself don't break any laws.

You can use direct sound recording software and screen video capture software from Applian to record audio from your sound card or record video from your screen. These products really see no difference between recording DRM protected content and DRM-free content. However there are hundreds of other products besides Applian ones that can do the same.

Please end this ridiculous argument. It is clear that Jacob is here to simply SPAM his product. That's been done now. Thanks, but enough is enough!

I have been coming to this site, off and on, for a longtime and have never felt that Stream Recorder has been anything but fair in what he suggest will do a particular job or handle a posted request. He almost always offers more than Applian products when appropriate and/or when a user indicates they don't work for them.

And, in reality, how this site is run and what tools are suggested or pimped is no ones business. You if don't like it, start your own site!

I tried At-Large Recorder 2 and the quality of the recording was much lower than the live stream in Slingcast (more pixelated).

I then tried Windows Media and Camtasia but got a black screen unless I turned off VBR from within Slingplayer. Then is does work, but turning of VBR definitely makes it look lower quality. Is there anyway to record a Slingplayer stream that appears as good quality as through Slingplayer itself?

Alternatively, is there any way to process the file recorded with VBR turned off so that the pixelation is 'smoothed-out' and the effect of having VBR on is recreated?

At-Large Recorder captures the stream, so I don't really know how the quality could be worse than in Slingcast.
