[Shop-talk] copying recorded shows from a sat dvr to a dvd

[PJ McGarvey]

There were some ways to hack the Tivo DVRs and "extract" video over the
available network port, but they involved opening up the DVR which voids the
warranty and doing quite a bit of work that could potentially "brick" your
whole DVR.   That said I'm not sure what's out there for Dish Network
equipment.

About the only thing I can suggest is to buy some sort of video capture device
using the available video/audio ouputs, and capture the recording to a
computer, and then write to DVD.   You may have to do some video/audio format
conversion to be compatible with the DVD format.
