Toppervte33h is correct about the recordings being encrypted on the hard disk and being decrypted on the fly so that you can see them on the TV.
However, I can't see why you can't take the output from the $ly+ box and running it into your DVD recorder providing you don't mind it having been converted into analogue first of all. If you want to stay digital then it's not possible I'm afraid.
