You don't need to make it too complicated with using a vhs vcr inbetween, if
you can still find the older model datavideo dac-100
analog to digital convertor device (it bypassed all forms of protection
including macrovision and newer forms).
Just run the analog out from your Time Warner DVR to that, and run the same
analog cables from its out directly to your recorder, whatever it is, PC or
standalone DVD recorder, all shows will record perfectly.
Of course, if your running to a PC then use the digital 1394 output instead
of the analog output, directly to PC.
Simple.
But it will get harder as these devices have been updated to include
protection signals in newer models.
