There are potentially several ways - it depends on which model of DVR you have. I've got the Motorola 2-Tuner model and the firewire out (for Digital VCR use) is active and can dump high-quality output to a computer. Also the analog output (coaxial) is active (I've got this running to my TV card) and can be recorded from. Many TVs now also have a "Video Out" that may work. I'm not sure but you might also be able to pull the hard drive and read information directly off of that - I believe it stores the shows in MPEG2 format (but it would be as simple as that - you'll have to figure out the drive format and all).
