Greetings, yes you can record from cable make sure you loop the cables to record into the DVD recorder. Make sure you get a really good brand of DVD+RW best to go to an office supply store.

Yes you can record direct from cable tv. And you can change the record speeds. You can also create titles and menus. And if you have a blu ray player with a usb port connected to line 1 or line2 you can actually copy mp4s in real time to disc

Though I've never tried it, there is a record button on there so I assume it can record.It's Tunerless, therefore there is no direct connection from the cable. You have to use the A/V connection, Yellow/Red/White

Only if your TV Has Audio and Video outputs. Most New TV's don't. You can record from DVR or Cable box outputs Video R and L audio. That's what I do. Some still have Svideo outputs use this first Peter better Video. Peter

Yes you can. It will move up and down between loops and change the record mode.

Yes if you are hooked up to an antenna, if you have a service like cable your cable wand controls the channels so you can only record what your watching. I just use it to record what I would like to watch when I'm gone.

As long as you unplug the hdmi cable and use another output source from your cable box you will be able to record HBO

Does this record cable tv programs like from HBO that normally would be blocked (copy protected) if trying to record to a dvd recorder (external dvd player recorder). Some cable channels will record if that channel allows it (very few do). "Copy protected" or similar message would normally be seen and no recording would take place.Have you tried to record cable tv with it?

One unfortunate drawback of this recorder is its lack of a tuner. If you get your television programs using cable or a satellite, this is not a problem. However, if you get your programming over the air using an antenna or your television's internal tuner, then you are not able to record directly from your television.

Yes, it will record standard NTSC Composit Video or S Video from your Cable Box. This unit doesn't have a built in tuner or any other automated timer. It can record 8 hrs of Video and Audio, but only manually. Good luck. manually.

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, I don't think you can. You have to have cable and a DVR BOX. I do like this DVD/ VCR-RECORDER. I HAVE 4 OF THEM.

Will I be able to record shows that are stored on my cable dvr to this dvd recorder? Has anyone tried this?

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.

You gotta have a tuner. Whether it's a cable box, a DVR, or a Digital-to analog converter like those available for old analog tv's doesn't matter. It just has to have a tuner and A/V outputs that your recorder can accept.

I'm not sure. I did not have mine long enough to try that. If you try it & it does could you tell me? The recorders that I've seen other folks use will record it from a DVR, but it's not 720 or 1080. It's only 480( standard def).

no, it only records 720p. maybe you can adjust the speed and quality of your recording when your looking at it through your computer. just like when you view a recording on YouTube, and adjust the speed or quality of what you want to look at.

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.
