Hi All....

I have Direct TV and have some amazing hi-def footage of the Olympic Games.
I am running out of room quick and need some advice on how to quickly transfer the recorded shows onto an external HD.
The DVR has a USB port on the front and back.

Is there a way to tranfer the recorded shows?

Thanks for your input.

Paul

No problem, sorry it doesn't work that easily. Also keep your eyes peeled, there may still be an easier way and you may get more feedback from other users, best of luck to you smile.gif.

PS: The post I quoted actually says to use the S-Video but you have to use some kind of Video Capture device to record it. I'm not sure how all that works but it's a small lead.
