Well Look at the Back of the DVR and See what types of Outputs the DVR Has....If it has any digital outputs Like a USB or Firewire Output then you would use a USB or firewire Cord but if there are no Digital Output then you won"t be able to Transfer the Video to your PC unless you have a capture device Installed in your PC but it should have a Digital Output that is Compatible with a PC....

Cheers

PS: if it has a USB Port you will Probably need some sort of driver which should have come with the DVR....

Hey, I just did a Little research on the Net about your "Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8000 DVR" and from what I read your DVR has an SATA Port on it which would hook up to your PC Via your Motherboards SATA Drive Input...Your Motherboard Might not have a SATA Drive Port especially if it is More than a couple Years Old as SATA is the Newest Drive Interface and Not all Motherboards support SATA but most New Ones Do.....

Cheers
