I have a Directv DVR(new one) that I use for my tv purposes, but I want to get a mac mini hooked up for video, but I still want to record stuff through my cable onto my mac to use with plex, an app i saw on maclife.com, so i want to know, is it legal or even possible to record out from a dvr on directv to a mac, and if so, how do i do it. Thanks Gary

Recording from a DVR to a mac

Probably not legal (you'd have to read your DirecTV contract and tell me). But probably not possible either. Your best bet is to be able to play it out over a video cable, and then bring that in to your Mac with some hardware that converts video to digital, then record it. You can spend a lot of time and money to solve the problem -- probably too much.
