Smart TV: Play recordings on PC - is that possible?

It would of course be practical if the movies and series you watch on the Internet via your Smart TV could be saved and watched again at a later time. However, the recording of various content is in a legal gray area and is therefore not possible without detours.

Play Smart TV recordings on PC: This is the state

A few years ago, especially at the introduction of smart TVs, it was still relatively easy to record content and transfer it to a computer using a tool. Today, this is no longer the case.

1. The problem with recording data through the Smart TV is not the creation of a recording, but the transfer to another medium.
2. Recordings on the Smart TV have a special format that can not be read by every operating system. For this reason, Windows, for example, refuses to copy the SRF format to a disk.
3. In addition, the file is encrypted, which means you need the help of third-party software to make the files usable.
4. Some time ago, all these steps were laborious, but trouble-free.
5. Inzwischen ist die Verschlüsselung der Daten jedoch so gut, dass kaum ein Programm diese bereitstellen kann.
6. Falls Sie es dennoch probieren möchten, müssen Sie die Dateien über ein virtuelles Linux-System auf Ihren Windows PC verschieben und anschließend mit der der Software DeSTRoi entschlüsseln.
7. Die Erfolgsrate ist jedoch sehr gering und keinesfalls konsistent.
