Is there a way to download the stored programming off the PVR box (Cisco) from Telus Optik TV to my computer? TIA.

There are other threads on this topic if you search but to answer your question .. no

atleast not directly. i do it by using a separate piece of hardware and software to strip out the commercials and a 3rd piece of hardware to view what i saved.

1- a Happauge HD PVR. connects to the cisco by component and to computer by USB. i play whats on the tv or from the pvr and record to computer.

2- VideoRedo H.264 ..that removes commercials and also black bars (letterbox -pillar box) if you wish.

3- playback with a WDLive - either from computer over the network or from a stand alone WD Elements external hard drive.

and because i like to have a "jukebox" style of keeping my movie collection. i use a program called DVDfab .. i copy to computer. transfer to the WD element and now have all my dvds at my finger tips.
