transferring video from cable Motorola dvrs to pc?

[Guest]

Anyway to do this? Charter specificly? USB port?

If your cable company hasn't disabled the firewire port, there are small applications for the PC and Mac that will capture a stream directly via firewire, even HD.

Otherwise, there is the option of an analog capture via SVHS or composite output, with the requisite capture card.

I've had success using this guide/info for my Motorola 6416 DVR on Comcast:

Also, there's a LOOOOONG thread on AVSForum regarding this:

And, the wikibook for the Mot DVR might be useful:
