I had a similar issue when I was getting rid of DirecTV.  I had a few 
"key" programs recorded that I wanted to salvage, so I used a Hauppauge 
unit to essentially play the DVR recording and while it played, it 
transferred the program via cable to my computer in either .mkv or .mp4 
format (can't remember which).  The quality was excellent, but the only 
downside is having to "play" the video on the DVR as it transferred 
which means it takes two hours to transfer a two-hour program.
