     That's all very nice, but the PVR will probably only be able to copy   
   to DVD, but not to an external USB HDD or USB memory stick, etc..   
      
     Daniel will correct me, if that's incorrect for his PVR, but that's   
   the way it is/was for my (Sonly) PVR. Copy-protection, digital rights   
   management, copyright, author's rights and all that jazz. Yes, silly,   
   but, at least in my case, fact.
