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.

Sorry, can't be done the way you're trying to do it.  What will work is to have video capture hardware/software on your computer and play the programs and record them in real time, much like we used to do with the VCR.  The programs would be in SD.
