There's only one way.
You would have to remove the hard drive from each unit. Hook them to a PC each, through an ATA or IDE (probably ATA) to USB adapter, transfer the files then reinstall them in their respective units.
The firmware that is installed on cable boxes does not allow transfer between units.
Their may exist, some expensive piece of equipment somewhere that can but it's much more likely that each hard drive is imaged BEFORE it's installed in the machine.

I'd bet they would charge you for it. It is "their" box, you're just leasing/renting it.
Seems to me the TV providers (and maybe TV and movie producers) just want to keep ownership of all their programming and productions, so they have finally found ways to make it difficult to impossible for us to copy and save shows and movies. We can watch their stuff, so long as we keep paying more and more for it.

My sister uses and swears by TiVo. She uses it with her cable provider and it's her box.
I do not know if this is possible with all cable providers.
Not to worry though... Soon, very soon, your cable box will have no hard drive or storage whatsoever. It will all be cloud based and when your box craps out, you get a new one and log back in to all your saved media.
Shortly after that, the device that you carry will (probably a smart phone) will carry authentication to your media environment (and pretty much all other digital environments that concern you specifically). Any cable box you are in the vicinity of will be capable of accessing your media (even your cousin's in Duluth) by your mere presence.
When you use your cousin's PS9, all of your games and saves will be accessible from her console or computer.
So I recommend that you just hold on to that cable box for another 15ish years so you can just put all that stuff in your cloud.
IN the meantime.... Send them cats.

That doesn't usually work. Most videos are encoded with a signal that talks to the firmware in the video recorder.
It might be worth a shot but I think there will be lines across the whole recording.
there used to be a converter available to allow you to record from dvd to vcr, or vcr to vcr, even though you used copy protected tapes and dvds. it basically turned the target vcr/dvd into a "tv" so it got a clean signal.
