Search the avsforum.com boards, there's TONS of great info there.
I'm sorry I can't remember the model# of my shaw PVR, but it had firewire outputs available without opening up the box. Someone had written an XP driver and posted it on avsforum which allowed me to stream output from the PVR to the PC (it had to be playing at the time - you can't browse the contents of the PVR). It worked beautifully, and I could record "uncompressed" output to my PC via firewire but I ran into problems finding something that would encode the TS streams into something manageable.
Anyway if you're willing to spend some time searching through the avsforum boards I'm pretty sure you'll find someone who has done this before.
