I think that's EXACTLY what all of the copy protection stuff is working to prevent...

Hi:
The only dvd player that is out now that can play HD dvd's is the Linkplayer by iodata. It plays WM9 HD files which you would need to convert on your computer from whatever format the DVR creates (probably mpeg2 transport streams). The linkplayer is also supposed to be able to play the mpeg2 transport streams directly after a firmware upgrade available next week. The question is whether there will be a firewire port on the DVR so that you can get the data off of it.
