I have a Scientific Atlanta 8300 HD PVR. Is there a way to get my stored shows on to my PC's hard drive?

Question

My provider is Videotron in Montreal, Canada.

Hi DT,

It can be done but it is a bit of work and they transfer in real time.

I do mine 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. They are cheaper now. You can look at one & read about it here - http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress.h...

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.
