So I finally decided to pull the plug on my monthly Dish Network bill and move over to OTA Windows Media Center. Is there any way of pulling the recorded content I have on my VIP 722 DVR and putting it on my Windows 7 computer?


I'm guessing there's got to be a way to directly connect it to my comp or perhaps archiving my contents to an external hard drive and then transitioning that stuff to my comp. Any ideas?


This is an emergency: I've got years of Longhorns football I don't want to lose.

Thanks!

Other then use a capture card and record it back in real time, I highly doubt it.

Crikey. I was hoping there was some sort of hack.

Try the Dish section over at dbstalk.com, unless there is some output on the box, most likely the data is encrypted on the drive and not accessible.
