For the less technically inclined of us...

Is there any service out there that will modify our HR10-250, so that
we can extract mpeg-2 files?

I am dying to move non-OTA (over the air) content over to my Apple TV
in 720p HD!

Currently, I have to digitize it to mpeg-2 720x480 anamorphic files
from the analog output and then transcode it over to the Apple TV,
which, of course, is 480p and not true HD.

Thanks.

I don't know about a service but you can certainly hack the HDTivo
yourself to do what you want. This entire forum was built around a
guide that instructs you on hacking your HDTivo. Just check out the
files section to download a copy of the guide. Note that you need to
disable encryption before you can extract any videos off the HDTivo,
which I believe is explained in the guide.

But I would advise to learn exactly what it does, in case you need to fix
anything down the road.

Check out the articles on dvrplaygound.com.

There is at least one that describes the necessary hacks. You also
might want to check mfslive.org.
