Just got this off Facebook .... There will be a 40 min show on Mickey Hart , "Innovators In Music: Mickey Hart" on the Docunentary Channel on Sat., Aug 6 at 9pm EST. Here is a link and paste of the description of the show. We don`t get the Docu Channel here so if anyone could grab it and upload it here I`m sure there would be alot of interest in it. Thanks

Alongside his work of nearly 30 years as a drummer with iconic rock band the Grateful Dead, MICKEY HART has flourished as a solo artist, painter, bandleader and the author of several books. His lifelong interest in ethnomusicology, along with his travels and love of all things percussion have led him to amass a remarkable collection of instruments, and to collaborate with musical masters the world over.

Hart became interested in percussion as a grade-school student. Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji performed at schools around the country in the late 1950s and had the students try out the drums. Hart had been one of those students and he never forgot the experience. Olatunji later taught Hart and collaborated with Hart and the Grateful Dead on a regular basis.

INNOVATORS IN MUSIC was fortunate to spend the better part of two days at Mickey's home and studio in a remote area of northern California. Mr. Hart generously shares his thoughts about music, art, space, vibrations, percussion, the Big Bang, the Grateful Dead, and the impromptu miracle of true collaborative improvisation.

He gives us a tour of his painting studio, expounds on the benefits of growing Japanese Bonsai trees, and reveals the secret foraging methods that led to his discovery of a spectacular set of petrified Redwood Deadwood. We also see his recording studio, home to the world's largest private collection of drums.

Listen and watch as Mickey is joined by Indian tabla master Zakir Hussein and Nigerian talking drum guru Sikiru Adepoju for an exclusive session of music recorded for INNOVATORS!

Although we do not aLLow the torrenting of "TV shows" (TV shows are copywrited) at Lossless Legs, I'm sure an intrepid member at "The Kind Tracker" would help you out, and venture off the mother ship to upload it here. Try posting a new thread at LL with your request.
Good luck!

If your DVR has infrared, bluetooth or USB you could try the following method (using AVS Videoconverter). See http://www.soft29.com/dvr_to_pc_computer.html

You can also find a lot of info here (if your interested in this subject): http://www.videohelp.com/

p.s. If you really want to do this may be the easiest way would be to borrow a standalone DVD-recorder from someone you know and hook that up to your dvr.
