    VOD Recording

    Saving to PC

    I have a Tivo SD-DVR40. I have been doing some reading and found out I can't use Tivo's "Tivo To Go." Is there any other way to use my existing recorder to transfer recordings to my PC? Or do I need to get another DVR. Does Directv offer a DVR that I can use to transfer my recordings to My PC?
