• Answer:

  Yes, there are a couple of ways to do it. 1. If you DVR has an active USB port or can be networked, you might be able to copy onto your network. There are also many hacks out there, like for the Direct Tivo units, to make them network able. I don't know if there are hacks for the Dish Unit You can go here to see if there is software that makes your brand networked: http://www.dvrupgrade.com/dvr/stores/1/category.cfm?SID=1&Category_ID=3&page=nav 2. You could also stream to a video capture card, not the cleanest option but will work. You need to have 1 of the following: A video capture card inside your PC, either a combo video card that also does capture like the All-In Wonder cards, or a dedicated separate video capture card OR An external (USB/FireWire) video capture device like a Dazzle that will plug into your comptuer externally and let you plug any video input into it. Both have the RCA/S-Video inputs you need to feed VHS, DVD, Cable, or any other video feed into your PC. After you capture to your PC you can do watch it, burn DVD's or format for iPods, PSP, or just save the video.
