Does this equipment allow me to burn DVD's from my television's DVR recordings?

The short answer is No. Twc or DirectTV boxes will not let you output . Apart from that, the DVC 20 is a piece of garbage.

Yes it does. as long as you get video and audio to the VRDV20 it will record shows from the TV DVR. I have done it many of times. If it doesn't work its because you have the cables hooked up wrong.

I never tried that. Assume it will depend on whether your DVR has inputs that will accept the signal output from the tuner.

No it doesn't. That's why its so cheap. I used my old VCR as a tuner to record tv shows to DVDs, I don't have a DVR so I can't say. If you have a cable box it should work, a cable box/satellite box is a tuner.

I used this dongle on a FTA box, I'm don't know for sure if it will work on a DVR

Unless your main dvr has some sort of DLNA functionality, I'm going to lean towards no. You most likely are not going to able to watch recorded shows.

Sadly, this unit just plays DVD's. You'll need a combination VHS tape & DVD recorder to do what you asked about.

What about video tapes? If I attach a VCR, can I transfer my old VHS recordings onto a DVD using this DVR Recorder?

Standard Def only. I don't believe an HDTV DVD recorder exists, at the consumer level anyway. That would be too nice, but probably way too expensive too!

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.

It will NOT record commercial DVDs to the hard drive. But it will record any DVD that's not copy-protected, including shows you may record off the air.

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.

Yes you will. Since the tuner is digital, it picks up all the digital channels available in your area. I have mine connected to an external antennae. I can record while watching television then play back later. There is plenty of storage on the hard disk drive plus recording can be accomplished on the DVD. I trust this helps.

Yes, it plays DVDs. It is our DVD player, DVR, and DVD recorder. It works great!

This will show you how difficult the process is if you have the right equipment: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070901205923AA4PGse The quick answer is that unless you can network the DVR to your computer the answer is no. With an HD Tivo you have more options: http://www.zatznotfunny.com/tivotogo-faq/ I made DVDs by playing back the HD program and recording it with a Panasonic DVD-R machine. But there are no BD-R units available in this country that I know of. They are available elsewhere in the world.

I'm not sure how that works to be honest. I do know that you need to buy a tuner to record shows from your tv. I'd assume you need the same thing to record from your DVR.

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 use +RW, -RW dvd's. Itvdoes not have a tuner, so you have to use the rca video from a tv tuner to the input of this recorder.
