nope thats a form of pirating movies, you cant even keep your recorded material from an old dvr in the event you need to get a new dvr

Not sure what you mean by "off site dvd recorder"?

You can connect your DVR to a home VCR/DVD Recorder and record shows the "old fashioned" way ....

 

The typical setup to record from your DirecTV Reciever/DVR to a VCR or DVD recorder is:

* DirecTV Receiver/DVR Audio/Video Output -> matching TV A/V Input (e.g. INPUT1)

* DirecTV Receiver/DVR A/V Output -> matching DVD/VCR Recorder A/V Input

* DVD/VCR Recorder A/V Output -> matching TV A/V Input (e.g. INPUT2)

Use the TV's Input/Source Selector Function to switch between the DirecTV receiver and VCR/DVD Recorder. To record on the DVD/VCR Recorder, select the DirecTV Receiver/DVR Input on the recorder, set the DirecTV Receiver/DVR to the channel to record (or play a recording to copy on a DVR), and start recording on your DVD/VCR Recorder.

Huh?  

Copying "recorded files" from your Genie DVR to a DVD Recorder is the same, regardless of whether it's "movies or tv shows NEWS STUFF".
