Thanks, Mike --
If I get a DVR, can I gain access to and manipulate the files?

I might be off base, but most cable companies have gone to great lengths to prevent you from recording video off their feed.
Saying that, I have had success with the Windows 7 Media Player recording tv feed from an Internet streaming feed (but not from cable feed.)
I thought I read that Microsoft removed the video recording from a video stream in Windows 8 and above.
I also tried several of the OpenSource packages on Linux, complete with hardware, and had no luck. After a few hundred hours I figured I had already spent more than a years rental of a DVR from my cable company would cost.
Good luck!

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:

Slingbox: -- https://www.amazon.com/Sling-Media-SB375-100-Slingbox-M2/dp/ B011QHAOWO Would that do it?

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
