All DVR's have internal hard drives. That's how you can watch the beginning of a program while it's still being recorded. Some are easier to transfer files off of than others. I'm not familiar with the one that Insight provides, but I would guess it's pretty low-end, and hard to get files off of. Some of them have Ethernet jacks on them (looks just like a phone jack, only bigger), so you can cable them right up to your pc and transfer files directly. If it doesn't have that, look for something labelled "line out." You should be able to record off that. SVideo carries video only, so you don't want to record just that.

If you want to record a lot of stuff, you might look into one of the new DVD recorders they have out now. The work basically like a VCR, but record directly to DVD. Hope this helps.
