I don't think you're going to have ANY success trying to offload content from your DTV DVR to a computer.

The DVR can stream content from your computer.

You can add an external HD to your DVR and use it instead of the internal one.

But - again - my understanding is that you can't transfer anything recorded on your DVR to another device. At least until DTV wants you to.

Oh, and we had a scintillating conversation about "RAID is not 'backup'" in the Water Cooler a few weeks ago.
