Can this record programs that have been recorded on a DVR? I am trying to transfer shows that I recorded on my DVR so that others can watch. Thanks

Actually, I bought this for my daughter. I contacted her and, unfortunately, she doesn't know. She said she will check the book.

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'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.

from what i understand you are suppose to be able to record from your dvr to a vcr recorder.i cant tell you how, but if you do a search on your computer it will bring up how to do it.

That's interesting. I wonder why it's called a DVR. I actually had the same question as Dennis, thanks for your reply. OK. I just got off the phone with tech at Archos and both the home and travel DVR do record from TV, VCR and DVD player. The main difference is the Home DVR dock is not travel friendly because of size/weight and there is no "s" plug on the travel dock.

yes the DVR records and has playback. you can also use a USB and take it off the DVR and play it elsewhere if you choose

Just recieved the DVR and I only have two cams at this time connected. After setting them up and recording (it shows a red "R" on the monitor screen) I go back to search for the recorded files. I get "No recorded file !" I went to HDD and it shows the harddrive "online" but it will not record the files to the HD. What am I doing wrong?

As far as I know, DVR video formats are not playable on anything other than the recording device or a computer. Copy the DVR files onto a computer first, convert the video to a more common video format, then burn that file on a DVD.

I don't think so. But not 100% sure, I did tried several times to hit record audio on DVR, but were never able to record or hear sound.

I runs on a DVR that comes with the system. It can record for about a month before re-using the older data.

No, not aware the compatible receivers record. You can add an external hard drive to the receiver & use it as a DVR. The receiver must be on all the time for it to work.

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

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?

In the sense that you can record programs like football games etc. yes it does the same thing that your cable dvr does. However it is not quite as convenient as the dvr. It works much the same as the old vcr did. I can fit about 5 complete football games on it before it is full. I am currently trying to find out if I can down load the data to a seperate hard drive with of course a lot more memory. Not sure if I can do that yet. I have paid for my unit a couple times over because of the savings compaired to a dvr from cable. I really like mine. That's about all I can tell you. Good luck!!

What programming did you record to the DVR that you wanted to put on disc?Some channels, including premium channels like HBO put an interval signal in their content that prevents recording. It makes devices such as the Sony DVDirect think there is no active input signal and thus it will not record. I found it impossible to make discs of VOD content as well due to this feature. Most recently I was unable to burn the HBO miniseries THE PACIFIC to DVD because of this feature.

The unit should record the show from the original broadcast and it should play back exactly how it was recorded.I don't believe this unit has any extra "features." Leave those up to your TV.

I have only used it to record TV shows that i have already recorded to my regular DVR machine. I dont know if it would be possible to record live feed TV...

no idea, you can record all the channels but you will not be able to look at each one in full screen on a DVR. The unit record up to 30 days so no need to record on another DVR ?

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.
