Have you looked at Plex and it's new DVR feature, requires a Silicon Dust Receiver and a subscription to Plex Pass.

Ken,
Years ago - on my last version of the TiVo box I used - there was a way to DL some of the programming to your PC. But, you were limited to only certain ones that the networks would allow you to do this with. This way - I could view some of my TV shows on my laptop whilst commuting on the train. However, I don't think I was ever able to actually Edit those videos - only view them with the viewer that was distributed by TiVo.
That being said - there used to be (and I think there STILL Is) - special video cards which you can use to view TV on your PC. But, not sure if with that you could edit videos. But, maybe you can. May be worth a look...

Hey - --
Because of my famous dog (https://www.instagram.com/caninehappyhour/), I need to be able to: -- record live (cable) TV, and -- gain access to the files in order to edit them.
We aren't big TV folks, and we have never had a DVR. I'd be willing to buy an inexpensive one, but shopping and Googling confuses the heck out of me.
For example i see these:
https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-EzRecorder-Definition-Recording- ER130/dp/B00LAP3GC8I see I have to add my own USB hard disk (which I have). Would that do it?
Slingbox: -- https://www.amazon.com/Sling-Media-SB375-100-Slingbox- M2/dp/B011QHAOWOWould that do it?
Also: https://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-1212-Definition-Personal- Recorder/dp/B0018LX0DYPVR? Personal Video Recorder?
Comcast is our provider. Is there a way to do this without additional hardware?
I need to record stuff Thursday & Friday.
Anybody willing to give me a kick me in the right direction?
Ken
