Hi, I never tried recording TV programs on it, but I guess if you can find a way to feed TV signal to the DVR it will record them also, it works just fine with the cameras though.

Yes, these record on mini-dv tapes. They also have a slot for an sd-card. Quality and legnth of recording seem better on the tape.

I can preselect programs with Dish's TV Guide and time them just as I would with the DVR. Both are then matched to make sure the correct recording happens (although I always spare a couple minutes before and after for a program, showtimes on certain channels are always unpredictable). Both Dish and Philips allow for weekly/daily/weeklong/weekend programming, so manually it becomes a breeze after a while (until a channel decides to switch times on shows for no good reason, then it becomes a eyesore of a chore). I also use RCA cables for my DVR and programmed it to the only channel that accepts a signal (ch 4), that way I only have to worry about Dish, channel wise. EXT1 source is used for any VCR-DVR dubbing.

Well is doesn't record if that's what you mean, it's not a DVR, but to get it up and running, you call dish to initialize it. Hope that helps

Not sure, it would depend on the format you are using to record on. If you are programing a disc you can watch a VHS tape in the meantime. I think you would need to switch it back to DVD format (mode) once you are done watching the tape. If you are going to watch a program while the DVR670 is programed you'll have to watch through the rabbit ears or the dish while the program is being recorded. This is what I do. All recorded programs are through the dish onto the DVR670

What do you have to hookup in to to record from DVR? Do you hook dvr to dvd player only? Does Cable have to run thru the DVD player and tv? I've tried a couple times and nothing is recording. Also, how do you finalize if you are choosing record without setting it up.

Yes, you can tape or record any show off TV that is not copy [protected. You can record to either VHS tape or to DVD.s. Byron Bratlie

Ita, I am sorry I can't answer your question since it has been too many years since I owned that Magnavox unit. I looked at the specifications for the unit and it looks like it should record your video tapes to the DVR disks. If you have any DVR disks you might give it a try and so what happens.

In my experience, you can record one channel on the DVR while watching another channel via the DVR, or record two channels on the DVR at once as long as you only are watching one of those two channels. However, when using this DMR,if you are recording from from a stored DVR recording over to this DMR, and then try to watch another channel on TV, this product will switch over and record whatever is playing on the TV screen. Maybe it depends on how you hook it up. In my case, I have RCA leads going from the DVR to the DMR (and an HDMI back from the DMR to the TV), and also an HDMI going from the DVR to the TV.

Will this work for recording dvds off Dishnetwork. Do I need a separate tuner? Would I be better off buying a recorder with a built in tuner? Right now I'm using a Panasonic DMR-EZ47V Up-Converting 1080p DVD-Recorder/VCR Combo with Built In Tuner which works fine.

Sorry, I don't have dish. I assume that it can record from dish, but I don't know. We use it to record TV from rabbit ears. In Milwaukee we have lots of over-the-air stations and we use the Magnavox to record and if we want to keep something, we dub to DVD. My wife is 80 and uses the Magnavox every day to record her favorite shows and watch when she has the time. There is a back log of 50 or 60 shows on the disk. Some are full length operas. Bill Smith

Yes , you can record on all channels at same time, although it will fill your hard drive up fast, but you can overwrite old footage to make room. Your ONLY able to review 4 channels back at same time, as the dvr continues to record. Hope that helps clear up things.

I have a dvr through directv. I'm thinking about getting this toshiba dvd recorder. Let me make sure I understand... If I have a show recorded on my dvr, I can then record it to a dvd in my dvd recorder? But while the dvr'ed show is being recorded to dvd, I cannot watch a different show? Is this correct?? Thank you anyone for your help. I have some shows that have been on my dvr for a long time now that I occasionally like to rewatch and would much rather have them on dvd so hopefully this toshiba dvd recorder is what I need.

I dont' know if you have received an answer...IF you use a cable box....run cable from box thru VCR then to TV. then you can record and watch at the same time. IF you have a new TV.....it is getting harder and harder to record shows...I can only record from my cable box OR an older analog TV. It is only a matter of time before we wont' be able to record a TV show...big box stores no longer carry DVD recorders....I suspect mixing the signal to prevent recording is in our future. Good luck

yes. you can record digital tv programs on your vcr tapes using the digital-to-analog settop box and a vcr machine. but I would connect your tv to vcr, instead of directly connecting the digital-to-analog to a vcr.

I'm not at my dvr at the moment - but you can record audio on at least channels 1 and 2. I do not believe audio record is available on the other 14 channels. For channels 1 and 2 you can add a microphone to the cameras and connect to the dvr.
