Does anyone know how to record something off of your DVR?

The installer told me it could be done with a laptop does anyone know?

Thanks

What do you mean record off of your DVR? If you recorded something to your DVR does it have a CD or DVD burner built in? If not does it have a data line out like USB? If so you might be able to access it as an external drive and then burn what is on it to a DVD. Did it come with software? You might have to install that on the laptop

No DVD and no software. It does have a USB port, as I understand it.

connect it to the laptop while the laptop is on. Make sure the DVR is off, then turn it on and see if it recognizes it
