With the dishnetwork high definition package there is a USB port how do you save shows to the hard drive?
Do you need some kind of special program. The USB port of the dishnetwork receiver is for the purpose of downloading shows. Then I could take that harddrive and convert it to my computer and burn a DVD copy?
Unfortunately the USB ports are NOT active on any of Dish, DirecTV, or cable providers DVR's. They are there for "Future use". What the USB ports are for is to connect a USB Ethernet Adapter into the USB port, then connect a Ethernet cable to the other side. then connect the Ethernet cable to your homes wired/wireless router. You cannot use the USB ports to try and run a USB cable from the DVR to your PC. Again the USB ports are NOT acitvated.
The ONLY DVR that comes standard with USB ports activated are Tivo Standalone units. Secondly the DirecTV Tivo units can be software upgraded with Thrid party software to Enable the USB ports to allow for the networking of the DVR to you homes internet connection. This allows specialized programs to connect from your PC into the hidden folders of the DVR where the shows/movies are, and allow you to transfer the shows/movies to your PC.

I have a total of 6 DirecTV Tivo units (Do NOT confuse a DirecTV Tivo unit with a DirecTV DVR) that have been legally modified to Enable the USB ports, and allow me to network all 6 DirecTV Tivo's.
The reason companies like Dish, direcTV, and cable companies do NOT avtivate the USB ports is that they do not want to be liable for any copyright infringement issues with how the shows/movies are used once they are downloaded.
There are ways to record the shows/movies from your DVR but it is a slow process that will ONLY record in real time. So a 2 hour movie will take 2 hours to transfer. You either need a DVD Recorder connected to one of the outputs of the DVR, or use a TV Tuner Capture Card that is in your PC to connect to. Then you would hit play on the DVR and Record on the PC's TV Tuner software, this will record it to your PCs hard drive and allow you to then edit and burn to DVD.
I hope this helps you understand the situtation.
