same quandry here - have both of Sumwon's starts on Dish DVR but don't have a "DVD recorder/burner" and my ancient VCR isn't even working to transfer to tape... fingers are crossed the Dish hard drive doesn't crash and lose them (it's happened before, wiped out all my movies) before can figure out how to save them.. do have a laptop that supposedly has the ability to burn CD/DVDs - is it possible to burn off the DVR box directly to the laptop
how about the track itself - have heard some furnish courtesy copies of DVDs to owners of their horse's race - anyone we can ask???
