IIRC, it used to be possible to pull the hard drive out and hook it up to a PC, then use a certain piece of software to access the files. However I think the encryption has been updated since then so this no longer works.

Go with the DVD Recorder option, I don't see why sending discs in the post is a problem.

Thanks for repling moth3r,so basically its not posible :(, the only probem with sending discs in the post is that they dont always arrive, irish/northern irish postmen seem to have very sticky fingers.
