No, not without some trickery. The Moxi is designed to only record from a digital cable TV channel.

This DVR does not have audio/video inputs, so you can't connect a VCR to it to copy tapes.There is a Magnavox HDD/DVD recorder that CAN copy tapes, as described here... copy link text and paste in your browser's address bar:http://www.avsforum.com/forum/106-dvd-recorders-standard-def/940657-magnavox-557-537-535-533-515-513-2160a-2160-2080-philips-3576-3575-a.html#post12244086

You can record on either dvd or vcr from the tv. You can also copy your vhs tapes to dvd. In my experience this machine often malfunctions and I would strongly advise against buying it. Good luck.

yes on VCR tapes and on DVD's but you need a tuner or cable box it does not ha a built in tuner. you can use a cable slitter and watch TV on another channel while using the cable box to record

We used this only to play VCR tapes or DVD's. I don't believe it could record DVD. I think it can record the VCR from the cable box but we never used it. We just record the programs on the DVR for a long time now.

if you hook the VCR to the DVD recorder with the yellow/red/white connectors, yes theoretically you could record a VHS tape to DVD this way. sometimes though the VCR has encryption protection, so unless you have a pretty old VCR, it may or may not work.

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

No....this unit does NOT record, you have to simply purchase and run this device through a DVD/VCR Recorder...and connect the VCR/DVD unit to a monitor. That is what works for me... its low tech but it gets the job done and gets you results!

It is not "exactly" designed to help with that because no VCR is involved. BUT you never know. To find out on your own, you would have to buy it first! I would suggest first contacting the seller [or manufacturer] through Amazon. That way you should be able to find out before purchasing.Good luck,MR

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

I have not done so personally, But I believe you can do that with any vhs/dvd machine So long as you have it connected properly. You have to be sure that your DVR gets connected to the VHS/DVD player, Then you should be able to record onto a VHS tape, not a DVD cuz it's not a burner. Hope that helps.

I don't record on the VCR..I have Dish and a dvr box came with it where I record. Sorry. You need to go online to Phillips.com and see if they can help you.

I think this is possible because the VCR has provisions for analog input. Why you would want to do this, I do not know because you cannot make disc recordings. You can only play what is saved on the hard drive.

The owner's manual definitely covers connecting the VCR to a cable box. It also appears the VCR is an analog system. I don't use mine for recording TV - I use a DVR.

this is a very good question I want you to know that I'm on a TV antenna I have my living room TV set up so I can record on the VCR as look at look at some other station trough my TV set I have brought about three different band of VCR/DVD combo after about a 14 mo. the VCR part go out and you can't record on it I think that it will play a VCR tape here is why I like the VCR it record 6 hours are 8 hours if you use the DVD to record you can only can record two hours on top that you have to buy two type of DVD one is DVD-R is to keep what you have record and DVD-R+W is one you can look at and then have to clear yourself when the VCR do it as it record it I would try to find a way to get the company who made them to do a better job I think if you would like to talk to me you can call 662-334-3676 and ask for Rusty Clower if you are selling them you make want to see if you can get the price down because of the VCR part going before I dub them I have to have one with a digital turner build in fo it work on my antenna. I hope this has help you.

YES! I finally got it to work, but they don't make it easy. I had to submit a help ticket with the manufacturer. They sent this link, and when I followed their directions, I was able to get audio and video onscreen and saved to a file. My only problem was that while recording, there are black lines across the screen, so you can only hear the video. I suppose if the VCR is connected to a TV (mine was not when tested), you can still see when to stop recording on your TV.https://vimeo.com/110391073

Yes. Press play on your VCR and press record. Like any recorder it can record the signal being displayed on the TV it is connected to.
