Transfer shows from DVR to Computer/flash dive
Is there an EASY way to transfer what's on my DVR to my computer or to a flash drive? I'm not very tech savvy so the easiest possible way is best. I have a bunch of shows on there that aren't available to watch online and I recorded them so I could use them in the classroom. As a teacher on a limited budget, I really can't pay to rent or buy all the science/history based shows I've recorded. Thanks for the help!!

No licensing will not let you copy or share programs recorded from DVR.

I have a thought and a soft place for (overworked and underpaid) teachers.
IF you could get your hands on a VCR and some VHS tapes (this might be impossible), hook up the VCR to the TV with Uverse TV service, play the program on said TV and record it onto a VHS tape. It would be easy enough to hook the VCR to a TV in your classroom (do they still have TVs in classroom?).
WARNING: Expect your students to either laugh or ask "what is that?" when you pull out a VHS tape.

Playing back the dvr into a vcr does indeed work. I just verified it. I still have an old dvd/vcr combo player set up, so just re-verified because I knew it worked when I originally set it up up more than 8 years ago. I kept it connected because it's the only physical dvd player I have!
But these days I can just use the dvd player on my computer which is also attached to my tv. It's quite a rats nest of wires behind my tv.
