1. Yes, you can download the saved programs from DVR to a computer; to connect it you need cable or enclosure and to read the recorded material you need a software such as PVR Explorer that can read linux file system (Windows will not be able to see the DVR hard drive). You can connect the hard drive to a Desktop or Laptop PC (you can connect directly using IDE or SATA cable or use an external hard drive enclosure or an IDE to USB cable). Once the hard drive is connected you can use a software like PVR Explorer (free, open source software) to browse through the vidoes and copy them to your PC: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=165873 Instructions Things You'll Need: Computer Digital video recorder PCI tuner Video cables Step 1Connect one of two PCI devices to your computer. A PCI tuner card must be professionally installed into the computer itself and requires an available PCI slot in the hard drive. An external PCI USB box can be connected through a cable to the computer. Step 2Hook up the DVR's output to the PCI device. An HDMI cable gives you the best quality transfer from the DVR. Your other two likely options are RCA component (red, green and blue plugs) or composite (yellow, white and red) cables. If the DVR is connected to the TV by another cable (like RF coaxial), you don't need to disconnect it. Step 3Install a video editing software program like TV Tuner or Media Encoder onto your computer. This is needed to at least view the DVR videos on the computer but can also be used to record them. Read all instructions and tutorials for your particular software. Step 4Open the software program and create a new session. Select the "Capture Video" option and choose the DVR as the source. Play the DVR video and it should appear on the program's screen. Hope this helps Mouse
