Direct TV DVR & USB Tuner?

Question

Hi

Can any one recommend a USB tuner for my laptop so I can connect my Direct TV DVR R15 model to my laptop. I want to watch/burn programs on my laptop that I have on my DVR.

Also I am interested in your thoughts on the software that came with the USB tuner

Thanks in advance

Hi John,

I do it with 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.

I saw a newer model at WalMart recently. It was the DVD Xpress2. I think it was $39.95 but I am not positive. You can check one out here http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress-d...

You connect the composite output of your DVR into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.
