I don't have an Expressvu PVR but they are all pretty consistent in not allowing any digital output. Most likely you can only get analog out. Look in your manual for information on saving a recording on a VCR. Then you have to digitize it to get it into your computer.

I have a Bell PVR. I don't know about transfering to a computer. I would assume you would have to play the program and copy it to your DVD (assuming you have a DVD recorder) ?

Or tape it on VHS. I don't see anything in the manual about transfering the contents...:(

my Bell PVR's HD outputs go right into my tv... but my tv has digital line outs that can be read by other computer monitors... so i am certain there is a way...

and i have seen video clips on the net that were downloaded from TiVo so it has to be possible.

I don't have Expressvu but my cable company's PVR has 3 outputs. One is component (3 cable bundle); the next one is Svideo and the last is regular cable co-ax.

I use the component to the TV, Svideo to my DVD recorder and co-ax to my VHS VCR. I also have an audio splitter (on to TV other to DVD Recorder) - the coax handles the audio to VCR.

PVR is in h264 format ie, (Ipod, Youtube, etc..), so it seems that it's just a matter of ripping the PVR open and taking the hard drive cable and plugging it in to your computer and designating it as a drive...

my 2 cents

I don't have a bell PVR, but bought a PVR/DVD writer combo from Bestbuy. You can record to PVR, and record that to a DVD if you like. You can rip DVD's onto your computer if you're so inclined.

The only downside is that you can't PVR and DVD's that you're watching, or pay per view movies. Other than that, no complaints. The Bell PVR is restrictive, but there are other ones out there

Has anyone had any problems with the installation of a BellExpressVu dish, could Bell technicians do any damage while fastening it? they have to put holes in walls or bricks etc..

Yes they have to drill holes into siding, brick or somewhere to get the dish secure , very little deflection of the dish is the difference between good & bad reception. One rental place that I know of does not permit the dish to be fastened to their buildings, it has to be on a tripod in the case of a balcony, or a post in the ground in the case of a home/toenhome etc.
I think for the most part the installers are competant, and try to do a good job, minimizing damages, however, under no circumstances would I permit them to do the installation with the dish mounted on the roof (through the shingles), I see that sop many times, it drioves me crazy.
