You can transcode the file into something that is burnable onto a Blu-Ray disc (but that is expensive both for the Blu-Ray burner and the blank Blu-Ray discs = $10 a pop). Or you can transcode it into a file that you store on an external or networked drive that can be played back through your TV via an xbox360, PS3 or other media player device.

I think it is also possible (not sure how easy though) to make a Blu-Ray type file that is burnable to normal DVD-R discs. So you can play it back on your PS3 or Blu-Ray player and not have to buy an expensive Blu-Ray burner or Blu-Ray discs.

Hope that helps answer your question.

Right now I transfer from my DVR to a DVD+ recorder. It shrinks the picture to letter format (?) so I don't get the full screen, but I get a much better product than I would going from a non-HD channel or using VHS, but it's definitely not HD. I looked into the new TIVO recorder thinking it would record in HD, but it's a no go also.
