Is there a way to externally store a DVR recording?

I would like to record a TV show that my daughter will be appearing on. Since I would like to keep this recording for sentimental reasons, I would like a way to store it externally.  Is there a way to do that on my Cox DVR?

    HDMI prevents copying programs to unauthorized components, such as a media server.  Mouth is correct with the VCR.  A VCR uses component or composite cables instead of HDMI, so it can't enforce copyright protection.  However, you'd need a VCR and its older cables.

    You could always write the production company for a copy.  Couldn't hurt.

    Hi Lizard6010, Cox does not offer cloud-based capabilities at the moment, meaning, there is no way to store this recording externally. Congratulations on your daughter's television appearance, we're extremely happy for you. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator
