This one is for you electronic freaks out there. I have a bad Shaw cable PVR that won't reset and I was told that if said box won't reset it effects all information as well and cannot be retrieved. Say it ain't so!! Now the issue is that I have shows that I recorded that I am not able to VOD/stream. The question is is there a way a person is able to retrieve said programs off of the PVR? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

I am doubting it. I know when I had to replace ours last year I had tons of stuff on it. I queried online if there was a way to retrieve and save my programs and it seemed that there was not. Rogers said that the PVR was not really intended for archival purposes and was not designed to save to another permanent device. Too bad for me. It stores data in a proprietary form as I understand (or misunderstand as it were).
Hopefully I am dead wrong and somebody has a hack.

So can you still watch what you recorded? If so ,I'm positive if you wanted to save your shows, you could hook up a VCR to your TV and record them on the video tape from your pvr. Some old VCR's hand a long play record mode option. Might be worth a try if you have the VCR...
As an x-Shaw employee, unfortunately you're out of luck. I worked in engineering, and had a similar situation with a PVR. I asked the guru's, and they said no the recordings are gone.
On the new Shaw services, shows are recorded in the cloud, so you won't run into this in the future.
My buddy's PVR receiver crapped out, and he got a replacement from Bell. He lost all his PVRed shows and was told there was no way to get them back.

I had to have my bell fibe wireless unit replaced three weeks ago. I lost all recordings and there was no way to retrieve them.I could get a list of what was recorded but not the programs themselves.
