can record from standard air wave tv without converter? Is there a hdd included? How many hours can one recording session be?

Yes. It has a digital tuner, and can record off the air without a converter. No, there is not an HDD. Depending on the quality required of the recording, up to 8 hours. The long recording time works for most shows. I have not found any that were unacceptable at this recording quality. There are higher qualities available, but the record time is shortened to 4, 2, or 1 hour.

Don't know--I have cable. But it is a digital recorder so should, On dvd can record up to 8 hours, Don't think there is hdd.

yes, you can record fron a standard tv station. if you are refering to a hdI cable yes ,I believe there was a cable included in the box. also if you mean does it record in hi-def. , yes. but no to HDD. And at the slowest speed , you can record up to 8 hrs. just like the tape unit next to it.

No. The simplest and best recording software (free) is audacity. Easy to use and works with this hardware

If you don't have a cable or satellite receiver and are receiving your tv signals with an antenna, you either have a tv with a digital tuner or a separate digital tuner/ converter box connected to your tv. If you're using a digital converter box from your antenna to the tv, connect the outputs from the digital converter box into the inputs of Toshiba DR430 Recorder and then connect the outputs of the recorder to the TV inputs. You will be connecting from the video (yellow jack), audio (red & white jacks) to the same colored jacks in & out from the Toshiba DVD Recorder to an input on the TV. If you're not using a digital converter box already for your local stations, you will have to buy one to connect to the Toshiba Recorder to record local shows because the recorder does not have a tuner in it. You can buy them for about $30 bucks at Wal-Mart or Radio Shack. I gave you a lot of information but it's easy to setup. They can guide you at Radio Shack. I have one box hooked just this way and it works fine. Hope this was of help.

I do not see a device or cord but.. you cannot record your DVDs onto a DVR. This is a battle that has gone on for years. there may be illegal means or very expensive means but no general CE product, utilized for recording off air, can record DVDs

Thank you. for recording, internal hard drive is required. unable to record directly to a cloud server or networked NAS. Regards

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.

Yes, this is a non-HD device. Just for clarification you don't record from a TV, you record from a standard definition analog input source (e.g. composite [video, right audio, left audio] antenna, or cable (not 100% sure, but I think it has a cable tuner). You will hook up your TV to the DVD recorder, your TV will just function as an output device.

This unit does not come with a hard disk. You will need to connect a memory card or USB hard drive to record. Hope i answered your question.

Yes - you can record. I don't know about the DVR with hard drive - however - here's what I recommend: Get the Blue Iris software - yes it runs on Windoze - but - you'll have a ball with the features and what you can do to manage the camera, the alerts and recording clips. I have 4 of the 18905's outdoors and 4 18910's indoors :)

I believe that you can since since the source can be a cd, tape or external device. The "record to" options are USB and tape. I haven't done this but it should be doable. This unit is not a CD burner so you can't record to CD.

This converter only does audio signals - you need a digital to analog video converter. Go here to see boxes for over he air conversion.

You can not use the RF-in and RF-Out to record/watch timed TV shows directly off the air. However, as long as you have an external tuner that can feed A/V signals in to this unit, then you can set it to record off that input at the appropriate times. That means you can only record the channel the external tuner is tuned to. If the tuner has the capability to automatically switch channels at the appropriate times, then this unit will work fine. I personally bought it to be able to play and edit shows recorded on DVD-RAM discs from my older US-model Panasonic DVRs. They are starting to wear out and I'll need this unit when those finally quit working You can not use the RF-in and RF-Out to record/watch timed TV shows directly off the air.

No you will need a DVR to record. Any standard DVR with BNC input would work.

I have digital tv so I don't know, but I can't imagine that there is any reason why you shouldn't be able to record analog tv. I think this machine was made in the time when tv was mostly analog. Good luck!

I'm not certain. I do know from my post that if you just have a cable (with NO cable box or satellite box) you can't record anything since this product does not have an RF in port, so to speak. I suggest you visit the Toshiba web site and see if it can answer this question. Toshiba seemingly no longer has "live" tech support - it's ALL on their site. Booooo ! ! ! Good luck and hope I've been of some assistance.

You can plug it straight into your computer or iDevice. Both will recognize it and let you record without any additional equipment.

There is no record option with a tape nor does it have a cd burner. It does have a headphone jack so a computer hookup may work.
