Is it legal to download a tv show that I have already recorded on my DVR?

I watch a lot of tv and I have a DVR at home that I use to record a lot of shows. I'm usually away from home though. I could go through the long complicated process of transferring shows that I have recorded to my laptop for viewing away from home, but it is MUCH faster and easier to download the tv shows.

I use a peer to peer client that has DISABLED UPLOADING. Therefore I AM NOT DISTRIBUTING any files, only downloading. Since I already have obtained these shows in a legal way, shouldn't it be legal to obtain back-up copies?

Please don't guess. Cite sources if you can.
