I know way back with my old Motorola DCT3416 I was able to plug the firewire port into my PC and with some drivers I downloaded off the net was able to get video output on the PC.

The downside is that it's raw & uncompressed, so huge filesizes if you want to save hours of shows (you'll have to compress post capture).

I don't know if the firewire port is still enabled on the newer PVR's, I haven't tried it with my newer DCX3400
