[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 48591, member: 21"] I'm not sure that it works on a 722, but I downloaded a bunch of stuff from my older 522 DVR. It was simple to open the case and pull out the HD. Then put the drive in an external USB enclosure. Install the software on my laptop and plug in the USB drive. After that it was select the shows and put them on the laptop's drive. Pretty easy actually. There is one hitch. The sound on "premium" channels like HBO is encrypted. You can get the video, but no sound. For regular TV and some cable channels it is in the clear. Then I put the drive back in the DVR and put the cover back on. I just looked it up. The software is called pvrexplorer, but it doesn't list the 722. [/QUOTE]
