I have a Motorola DCH3416. DVR recorder according to my cable system the only connections that are working are cable out, eSATA “External Serial ATA disk interface” and HDMI “to the TV”. I like to take some movies and back him up to my computer. My computer DOES NOT HAVE an eSATA input but it does have USB AND HDMI. Can anyone help me by tell me what programs that I need? Thank you

On the back of your unit is S-VHS output for recording to a DVD Recorder and then from their use your PC to edit the videos recorded to RW disks. Or get a Hauppauge HD-PVR ... either the card for inside your PC or the one that connects by USB ... you do have ... video component out ... for recording to a Hauppauge HD-PVR 1212 ... recordings will be huge ... in HD ... about 6 Gigs per hour.
I used the pdf file to see what is on the back of your unit >>>

This will not record TV shows broadcast in the USA but you can use it to record stuff from your cable box to the internal hard drive and then edit out the commercials and burn to a disk or to a DVD-RAM disk. -

talking with my cable service the only ports that are active is the Coaxial input and output, the HDMI and the eSATA.

The eSATA is only for extending disk capacity, not for recording. The file format is encrypted and can only be played on that set top box.
The HDMI output is HDCP encrypted. It won't be recordable.
I see YPbPr, S-Video and composite outputs in the PDF. Those are recordable.Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.
