A method which works on some recorders is to just hook up the hdd from your recorder to your pc. May not work always because some manufacturers use encryption and/or a proprietory file system which won't be read by your comp.

There is another method which is summed up in a really long thread

Following this method while does not guarantee success it does ensure that your warranty will be voided. Very Happy

ooooo, I dont think I should fuck around then...cuz its rented from the cable provider ya know? the thing costts like 900-1000 bucks

I thought that if I hooked up the actual box to my vid card via Svideo, I could vidcap it somehow with some program...but the encryption thing...i think my cable provider does have encryption on their boxes...when i reboot the dvr/cable box, i get a buncha shit on my tv, then it says file system or some kinda system loaded...then it proceeds to load all the functions that i need...like the tv guide thing, all the channels, my personal settings etc etc
