No usually they are encrypted or linked to the box that recorded it only.

Dish Network DVRs encrypt the data - and can only be accessed from the original DVR that recorded the program. Virtually all cable companies and satellite providers do this to prevent copying programs to another device. It stinks for the honest users.....but the "pirates" out there would distribute the programs without thinking twice without the encryption.
