Not sure what your talking about Chris Leer. You just repeated what I told him already. And you won't loose your recordings if you use a video capture card. The only way you will loose them is if you can somehow get the HDD out and connect it IN your computer.Well No Hawker, You can't, You will have to get a video capture device or card for your Mac also and a another thing is you can't transfer them from your receiver to a computer because if you do that then you will lose all of your recordings because it has to be reformatted to work with your computer also.
