Comcast (Motorola DCT6412) Retrieving Programs

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Is there a way to retrieve the recorded programs off the Motorola
DCT6412 and copy them to my computer? I'm 85% full and I don't want
to delete anything until I've saved it... Can I use the firewire, or
usb ports, or is there a site out there than can show me about taking
out the harddrive and retrieving the files directly from my pc?
