How can I transfer video from a dvr box to a computer?

Hey TV Guy, if you are out there, How do you transfer video footage from a Direct TV DVR box to my computer?

  • .....or to my DVR Video camera so I can transfer it to computer. There is some footage that I want to enter into Windows Movie Maker to condense into a shorter program and then transfer to DVD.

  • Answer:

    The only sure way is by doing a video playback on the DVR and then capturing it on your PC using a video capture card. The contents of the DVR are probably DRM-protected so I doubt there is a legal way to transfer files from a DVR to a PC.
