Sorry if this is breaking any rules, as far as I can tell it's not. Remove if so. Basically the title. Scrapped out several old cable boxes yesterday, and was wondering if there's a way to copy any shows / movies that might be on them, and have them be watchable and not encrypted

EDIT:

Why the downvote? Sorry I figured a cable company wouldn't make it easy to do.

Cable box I saved a big drive from was just a regular one like Spectrum or similar companies in the states would give you, no Tivos or anything. I already scrapped the steel, so I don't have a brand unfortunately

EDIT 2:

I tried popping it in my hard drive dock for giggles, and sure enough Windows 11 won't look at it without a format, which I don't wanna do just yet
