Can I put tv shows from my DVR onto my computer?

Is there anyway I can transfer tv shows from my DVR to computer?

  • I was wondering how I could take tv shows I have saved on my DVR and put them on my computer so I could make a DVD or put clips on YouTube. Is this possible?

  • Answer:

    Hi Whitey Ford, You can do it. You need a 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 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 recently. 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. Norm

Not too long on the news, there was a segment about networks filing suits against people putting shows (or clips) on you tube. So my answer to that is NO!!!. There are ways to make backups onto dvd. The easiest is to hook the DVR to a DVD recorder. I have 2 DVRs. One is from TIVO and with a purchase of TivoToGo Plus, i can transfer shows to my home network and even convert to something my ipod can use. The other is fron DirecTV. It cannot do these things. There are a bunch of user groups online that can help a lot more than me. Remember, if you didn't make it yourself, someone else "owns" it. Copyright laws are a doozey.
