capturing the video to save on my computer

Does anyone know how to copy the recorded tv files from the Directv Media box to my computer? I can see the files in my folders but cannot copy them or save them any where. I can play them and that works fine. But, I would really like to save them for the future.

Multisatellite Dish Set up

Can you tell me what the azimuth, elevation, and tilt is for zip code: 72703? I understand that capturing the different satellites is difficult with a multisatellite dish. How difficult will it be at a tailgate?

Fiber works differently than traditional cable so it's fruitless to compare the two. Uverse provides "streams" (max 4). When you change channels, you are discontinuing that stream to access another stream. Set the DVR if you think you
