You don't want the data off a Comcast DVR, it's so compressed that it bands like
16bit graphics and even subtitle data is lost. This was on a Minneapolis, MN market
SA DVR.
When CC gets around to enabling SA's SARA OS' DRM features it will disallow/degrade
recorded playback or even tuner output via component or whatever else they choose.
As long as they're in control of the STB you'll never get what you pay for!

At this time I believe this is the only way to get HD content off of a cable
company STB. I know Comcast doesn't care that their PVR only holds about 20
hours of HD content and doesn't give you any way to save it to an external
drive.
Not an ideal or perfect solution, but one that allows some additional
flexibility with HDTV.
Just wish they weren't quite so expensive!
