I seem to remember a while back that there was discussion about being able to transfer shows to a media player for mobile viewing. Was this idea dropped by DirecTV or is it still in the realm of possibility?

I know you want to know why. Well I have some VCR tapes that I purchased a long time ago and I want to transfer them to DVD. Problem they have copy guard on them and my Sony RDR-VXV11 will not let me. I thought maybe if I can transfer them to the DVR I might be able to record them back to DVD...
