You could record it...

Are DVRs still a thing? I thought they added copy-protection to video outputs (like Apple movies won't play on a non-protected display.)
I have Comcast cable and watch it via an HDHomeRun with a cablecard. Only "premium" channels are encrypted and that's mostly just HBO.

I use the "Channels"[1] software to record programs and save them directly onto my NAS.

Of course, all cable providers also have their own DVRs. And surprisingly, Tivo still exists. https://www.tivo.com
