Direct TV - HR21-100

Derek New member Username: Derek_t Weaverville, NC USA Post Number: 3 Registered: Oct-10	Posted on Monday, November 01, 2010 - 13:45 GMT I have quit service with Direct TV but (naively) assumed I would be able to access my recorded material on the HR21-100 DVR m/c. Is there any way I can acces it, transfer to computer etc without re-signing?
