Recording DirecTV to computer

Please help. I would like to recording some TV shows to my home computer in a format that I can later download to a disk. I have DirecTV and I have Vista on my computer. Thanks

Be sure you have a large hard drive as these captured videos can exceed several Gigabytes per hour.

If you have a Direct TV DVR you can output it to a DV recorder at 480i. Blue Ray drives for computers are expensive and the disks are way too high in price. Maybe in a coule of years the price will decrease.

I do this easily, it involves modifying your PVR drive. E-mail me for details.

I need to do this in HD with a SA DVR.
Does your method apply to this too?

I've only done this on my Hughes Directv box. I believe other boxes are just as easy. See these forums:

I would so much appreciate the information to move my DVR recordings to my PC so I can burn them to DVD without sitting there watching them...

I have a Geniatech Hybrid ATSC X8000A
card in my pc. I record programs all the time.
just plug the cable from your box to the card and
you click record.
