How do you transfer files from a PVR?
I have a Bell 9424 HD PVR that I have several shows recorded that I would like to pull off and store on my laptop.
How can this be done?

There are two ways to do this...but neither is especially quick, nor will they give you a HD image.
1: Get a TV recorder for your laptop. This is usually a USB device you can plug into your computer or laptop, then connect the PVR to it, and use the included software to record what you play on the PVR.
2: Get a stand alone DVD recorder and plug it into the PVR so you can record the show to DVD while you watch it on the PVR. Then finalize the DVD, and take it to your laptop where you can rip the video to your hard drive.
That content is typically encrypted so you can't copy it.
