DVD ARCHIVE RECORDING - HOW TO???

Have some issues regarding recording off air and satellite material onto DVD media. Need some help in how to go about this sort of thing. What I would really like to do is record some of the saved material from my Dish DVR through my iMac G5 computer which has a super drive recorder built in. The problem is that the DVR for all intents and purposes has analog outputs that of course will not interconnect with my G5. I just recently purchased a copy of Toast 9 software. What I need to know is how to make a connection to my DVR and how to go about making a connection with Toast. Any ideas out there? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS. I know some of the newer hardware being promoted by DISH and others now carries USB or is it UBS connections for hookup to digital components. I have considered going that route, but I am in the process of waiting until February to see where this thing is going to go before jumping into something new with a provider that will no doubt cost me more per month. You know, the first on your block . . . . .
