I've never had HBO but I assume you coax your cable to the DVD recorder input and then connect to your TV. I don't have cable any longer so sorry I cannot be of more help.

Sorry, but I can't help here. I junked mine over a year ago. It was the worst device I have ever owned! Good luck.

Sorry, My RDX 530 ceased to function about three years ago, and I don't recall how I had it hooked up to record. JIM

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

you should be able to do that. My mother's tv is straight cable,no vcr or cable box.

Hello, I have the same set up as you. With this box I can only record the local stations. If there is a show that cable offers on their basic plan I can not record it unless it is in the area. I was hoping that this unit would pick up the unscrambled channels which are about 75 stations, from the cable line, but it does not do that for me.

TiVo Box will NOT connect to a Cable Box. Although a second TiVo Box with a network line (Cat5 or Wireless) will replace the cable box and connect to the other TiVo Boxes on the Network. I record on the main TiVo Box and can watch recorded programs from the second box. With the Computer Program from TiVo I can watch from my PC or a Tablet too. The second TiVo Box shows up on the main display screen and you just 'click' on it to access the stored programs.

If you mean record off tv to dvd It has no coaxiel in or out. You need a cable or Sat. box with RCA plug.

There is not tuner in it so you would need a cable box or tv connected to be able to record broadcast content. We only use is for viewing DVD's and some older VHS tapes so I am not very familiar with the recording function. It has been a very reliable unit for us.

As long as you have a supported video input and a high speed internet, you need a computer with a video out option on it. TV to TV wont work. I watch my home FIOS DVR in Baltimore when I travel. The quality depends on the speed of your internet connection. I travel to many parts of the country and mostly view on my US Cellular phone. The faster the connection, the better it works. Best purchase I have made in a long time.

O.K. So far so good==Got the system working with your suggestion of a FIOS STB box.Using a splitter I now can watch one program and record another== Here's the rub=== When setting the recording I don't understand how to indicate the Channel to record =-= all I get L1/ L2 /Ch3.. How can I set the channel wanted???

Not sure, but I remember settings in Amazon (not using HBO go) need to be set at stereo, not surround. Try that.

Yes, I record off of mine all the time. However, do not set it up to record (with the timer) from the DVR with a Premium Channel like HBO; any other channel works okay.

Yes you can hook a cable box to the TV. There is a selection in TV mode for AIR or CATV.

Hi Mad, normally you can't do that directly on the TV. You can record from your Cable Box. -Vincent

Most likely not. This DVR uses a Coaxial Input (the kind used by over-the-air antennas). While the cable input into your "Cable Box" is a coaxial input, this device does not have the ability to convert the (scrambled/digital) signal from the cable company into a picture you could view on your television. Your best bet would be to ask your cable provider to supply a DVR which is designed to work on their system.

That's how I do it. I don't have a cable box, either. My cable runs into the recorder and from there to the TV. I switch the channels on my TV with the recorder. My TV is always on channel 3. But I find I record lots of stuff I really don't want. I use Verbatim DVD+RW discs. They're easily erased but you only get the time on the disc back if it's the last thing on the disc. If you start erasing from the end of the disc in, you get back whatever time you've erased, as long as it's from the end in.

Connect the cable box straight to the tv and use an optical cable or audio cable to the recevier from the cable box

I don't have cable tv, so I really don't know what kind of connection is needed for a cable box, so I can't answer the question -- sorry!
