It is if you distribute it or otherwise share it with others, which is why most cable DVRs have blocks in place to stop you from burning the DVR content to DVDs. It's a slippery slope that is better to stay off of. "I pay for my cable" does not mean you get to do whatever you want with copyrighted material... just like "I pay for my internet subscription" does not mean you get to do whatever you want with, say, photos you find online.
