PVR recordings to PC?

[Helghast]

is there anyway to put your recordings on the PVR to be stored onto yr PC?

if you have a tv capture card, plug your pvr RCA output into your TV card RCA in.

If you have a recordable DVD player, it's very easy. Copy recorded stuff from PVR HDD to blank DVD.

Does anyone know of a tv or video capture card that takes in HDMI 720p feed ?
If its locally available , what's the price range ?
I'm sure there's a way to overcome HDCP.

from what ive read on the forum...HDTV caps in South Africa are nearly impossible? or the start up cost is something ridiculous aswell

There is a card available, but you wont be able to capture anything. All HDMI in capture cards have to be compliant...

You'll have to strip the copy protection first with something like this:

Multichoice have enabled macrovision on all outputs. You can no longer record to DVD disc unless it is a RAM disc.
I am not sure about the SD PVR.
Also, you will only get 720p from the HDMi output so using the RCA outputs will only give you SD quality.
The black magic card is basically designed for users who wish to copy their HD camcorder recordings to their PC via HDMI - no encryption here.
