The first episode aired a few hours ago (repeats at 5:30AM Eastern if anyone is still up reading at this hour) and I recorded it but the only means I have of getting it off my DVR box is to copy it down to standard def, which defeats the purpose of recording it in HD.

I've heard stories of people literally taking their cable boxes apart, putting the HD in their computer, copying the files out and putting the drive back in the cable box. Mine is a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD. Anyone have the same box on their system and can talk me through the procedure or point me to a site with instructions?
