Chorus NTL or Sky Digital?

How do I get video files off my Irish NTL/Chorus/UPC dvr box ?

  • This is a Thomson DVR 6000 box and is the standard one that NTL use here in Ireland. It has a ethernet and usb port at the back but i dont mind taking the hard drive out if i can get the files. Are they .mpg files or something else. Any help would be great as i would like to watch some shows on my laptop etc.

    Hi stez, Get a device like DVD Xpress. With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. I got mine in the US at Sam's for $59.95. They are cheaper now. You can look at one & read about it here - http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress.htm I saw a newer model at WalMart last week. It was the DVD Xpress2. I can’t remember what it cost. You connect the composite output of your DVR into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable. The device should work in Ireland as well as the US Norm
