anyone have any experience getting recordings off their PVR onto a computer so you can burn the shows to disc.
I need to transfer the whole season of supercross soon as my PVR is at 91% capacity.

Re: Shaw PVR
I think the easiest route would be to find the shows/episodes online, burn those & get a DIVX codec player.
I know costco has some PVR's with DVD burners on them. However transfering your shows may be hard to that new unit to burn.
Is there an option to add a USB hdd to your PVR? I reccomend going to memoryexpress in calgary and grabbing a 500GB-1TB hdd for 150$

Re: Shaw PVR
I think generally they (Shaw, etc.) don't want you to be able to do that, so it's not going to be straight forward. It is just a hard drive though, so I'm sure there are hacks being done out there.

If you need to download the episodes, they are all there, plus many other seasons and other movies as well. I use Limewire to download, works great.

Re: Shaw PVR
I noticed the latest one is Salt Lake City. I was expecting Las Vegas. What's the scoop? Is Vegas still to come?

Re: Shaw PVR
The PS3 will play avi and Divx files. You can put 2 hours of non copyright video on a regular cd in just a few minutes. Use bittorrent for downloading. A word of warning Telus may send you a piracy warning notice if your bandwith usage is high, or if you are downloading a copyright program. Shaw does not care because Canadian laws do not make file sharing illegal.
I would expect that the PVR has a regular hard drive. Pop it out and take it to memory express. They will set you up with an external hard drive adapter (under $30) that you can use to copy the files to your PC for burning. Then spend under $80 and pick up a larger internal hard drive for the PVR ($59 for a 640 GB).

Re: Shaw PVR
You sure about that? I thought Shaw and Bell encrypt their recordings in the PVR so they could not be copied.absurveyor wrote: I would expect that the PVR has a regular hard drive.

Edit: A quick search on google shows the Bell PVR footage can be ripped but not Shaw.
Re: Shaw PVR
If you don't want to pony up for a PS3, you can get a DVD player from SuperStore that will play DivX and Mpeg files and the like. Best $40 I've spent in a long time.
Re: Shaw PVR
I believe that I can copy a program off my Bell PVR if I watch it at the same time.
