It depends on what means you have. I have a standalone ILO DVDR with
an internal HD. I can play back from a DirecTivo to the DVDR,
recording to the HD in real time, and later record from the HD to a
DVD at high speed. That works pretty good, except you do lose a bit of
quality going from digital to analog then back to digital on the DVD.

I can also go from my (hacked) Tivo directly to my computer (at high
speed), convert the file to mpeg, then burn to a DVD using Nero. That
produces a somewhat better copy (no analog step). The tradeoffs are
the second method is faster, but requires a lot of user interaction...
the first method is slow and ties up the Tivo.... but you can set it
up to transfer overnight.

======================
I did it all the time.
Just read the manuals and use the S-Video connection.

Its no different than recording from a VCR. YOu can do it with live
recordings using a combination of timers, or if you have a DirecTivo, you
can do it in realtime from DVR's hard drive....

Hook up the DirecTv Video out to the DVR video in same with the audio
cables . It is not rocket science you know.

Many Tivos can be networked to a PC and the files transferred
directly, once a decryption hack has been applied.

I do it all the time. Hook the DVD recorder up to the directv the same as
you would connect a VCR.
