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:

As of 1-17-2009, the PVR Explorer supports Dish/Echostar 501/508/510/522/625 model numbers. Many DVRs have a warranty sticker on the hard drive enclosure inside the DVR and removing the sticker would void the warranty. In some cases you can still connect to the

2. It is possible to download saved programs from a Dish Network DVR using a Generation 5 Archos Multimedia Mobile device (Archos 605 WiFi and 705 WiFi).

But only a few DVR's are supported (ViP722, ViP622, and ViP612 -- although the Archos website doesn't mention support for the ViP612).

The only small step to be able to download your video content from the DVR to the Archos is to install a free plug-in (the link can be found at the Dish Network/Archos website).

3. There are other options; you can play the videos and re-recording them on an external device but it will result in loss of quality and it will take a lot more time than just copying the videos to a PC:

You will need a video card with video capture ability. then you can run your DVR, DVD player, digital camcorder...etc.. into it and save it.

Yes why yes it is!

How? I plugged my hard drive into my computer and I kept getting an "insert disk" message. The computer recognized the hard drive, but didn't read the files.
