According to the setup instructions this unit can be used on cable systems or broadcast TV using the antenna input. The tuner works with both hi def broadcast signal and the old analog style signal. Most cable system rebroadcast on the old channel 3 or 4. The output is via hdmi, audio video cables or antenna input to the TV. I no longer subscribe to cable so I haven't used it in cable mode. It also will stream from wifi if you have Netflix or use YouTube.

I reviewed the recording instructions and it states this unit will not record from an analog cable box. Cable is listed as an input option though.

Yes, you can split the cable and record using the coax cable input on this device and bypass the cable DVR box. The DVR coax output on cable boxes is analog; therefore, this unit will not record from the cable DVR box. In addition, only broadcast HD TV channels can be recorded with this device.

Not designed to work with cable. This is for cord cutters who use an antenna. This DVr is a poor performer. If you do cut the cord check out the Channel Master DVR.

G., This box can capture over the air (OTA) off your antenna or at standard quality (SD) through RCA cables or S-Video. If your DVR is not HD, then this box will do the trick. If you want HD quality, I recommend using component output (HDMI will not work) with Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR (not the HD-PVR 2 or Gaming editions). That is what I use to capture video from my DVR. The AVerMedia Home Free Plus works great for OTA recording with Windows 7 (but the SiliconDust HDHomeFree is actually an even better choice for OTA). Also, I have heard some have problems getting the AverMedia to work well with Windows 8.

Sorry, I never tried that. I used it for copying VHS that I recorded myself to DVDs. But I was VERY disappointed that it would not record from my DVR, refusing to "make more than the limit of 1 copy". The VHS is broken now, will play but not record. So I only use it to play DVD's.

Yes, using AV cables to a dvd recorder. Play program on dvr while recording on dvd recorder. Simple.

I never tried it but it seems reasonable that it would record from a DVR. Since I got rid of it years ago I can't test it to see if it would, however. Good luck!

Yes! you can record TV when connected properly I got mine hooked to my cable box . cable box to TV . Different TV may have their on way you have to check the owners manual

The cable only transmits the signal. If you have video but aren't recording it almost has to be a setting in your DVR, not the cable.

The back of the DVR has a video output (v-out.) Using the same type of cabling that came with the unit, you can connect to a video input on your TV. You may need some adapters for the plugs, depending on your setup.

from what i understand you are suppose to be able to record from your dvr to a vcr recorder.i cant tell you how, but if you do a search on your computer it will bring up how to do it.

Yeah. If you had a non-PoE camera you would want a splitter to split thet data from the power since you would power it with a wall wart or something besides CAT 5/6. If your switch does not provide PoE to the camera you can use a PoE injector to provide power and data to the camera and back to your DVR or whatever. Hope this helps.

I need more information to be able to answer your question eg. how are you trying to record shows?Do you have cable TV?

Yes , connect the output of the cable box to the recorder then out of the recorder to the tv. When a DVD is inserted and you hit record, it will record straight to the dvd

There is a record button on remote, but don't know for sure and there is no way for anyone to know if it will connect to the cable in your wall.

You do not need the cable box to record from this machine. However, this machine will not record from HDMI because it has no HDMI input. You can record directly from the cable outlet using the cable TV input. Picture will be in standard 480p definition only. This machine will only record analog channels.

Yes, you can plug directly into the DVR with either VGA monitor cable or BNC coax cable. I have not tried the BNC connection because the VGA works perfectly, but the DVR has a BNC coax video out port.

Yes, just plug the cable running from antenna into the unit. If you purchase a splitter you can go one cable into your t.v. and one into the unit. This will give you the ability to record and watch another channel at the same time.
