[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1560862, member: 24160"] I have not investigated getting movies from a cable/satellite provider's DVR in many years. Unless there has been some new external device come out (which it appears there has not been based on Dave's and Sly's comments), the easiest way to watch the movies that are on your DVR, is going to be by taking your DVR and a TV on your trip. You can buy a 24" TV for a couple hundred bucks. I did this for some time - I should still have sitting in my closet, the last ATI All-in Wonder HD card that could capture video and does not recognize flags. All these DVRs use proprietary file formats - specifically to prevent people from just copying movies they've recorded to their computers. As far as I am aware, to get the files from the DVR and be able to watch them on a computer/iPad or any other device is going to require some sort of video capture device that will re-encode the files into a file format playable by the iPad. This is going to require real time play back of everything you want to take, prior to going on your trip. [/QUOTE]
