copy hopper recording to pc or dvd

Transfer no, record it to another source yes. Using an analog out from the receiver to the whatever input is recording such as a DVD recorder or Computer recording software.
 
I have used the BlackMagic Design Mini Studio HDMI capture device but the HDMI output from the Hopper 3 locks down the HDMI stream if it is copy-protected. Also, the video is tinted purple which wasn't the case with the ViP family of receivers, so it really isn't usable.
