How to move shows from DVR

[shellyesmalls]

I have a Sony Receiver STR-DH810 with a Verizon Fio DVR QIP72322 going into the receivers HDMI input, and a Samsung TV going into the receivers HDMI output. Audio is a 5.1 setup.

It all works great.

Now, I have some programs on the DVR that I would I would like to transfer to a PC to free up space on the DVR.

I have a good PC with i5 processor, 8800GTS graphics card 4 GB of memory and a X-FI Titanium sound card.

What I want to know, is how can I get the shows on the DVD to my PC?

The only way to do this is to backup your dvr to an external hard drive. Contact the provider of the dvr to see if backing up to external drive can be done. On most dvr's, the feature has to be enabled, like on my dish network dvr.

And crap like that is why I still use a VHS VCR. If I could, I'd get my hands on a DVD±RW video recorder that just connects to a cable or OTA converter box.
