There was an unsupported service called Direct2PC, but I could never get the software to work on any of my PC's. I am not sure if that's still being offered now that they introduced DirecTV Everywhere. I use a SlingBox to stream my DVR content to my Laptops or iPod Touch. SlingBox works great and there are no extra monthly fees, but there is an upfront cost for the hardware. See the announcement on the first page of the SatelliteGuys homepage for details of the unannounced new SlingBoxes due out later this month.
