Yes , connect the output of the cable box to the recorder then out of the recorder to the tv. When a DVD is inserted and you hit record, it will record straight to the dvd

This recorder DOES NOT HAVE A TUNER making it more complicated to record. I was able to record direct from Over the Air with a TV with a digital tuner! If you do not have digital in included in your set, you would need a digital converter box that has both IN and OUT video/audio inouts. This recorder DOES have an HDMI input. This recorder DOES alow you to schedule recording, but you MUST know the times and CHANGE THE INPUT so the signal will go to the recorder. A bit complicated. It really is alot like when we recorded to our VCR's. BTW, be sure to get DVD+R or DVD-R to record. MOST cable stations are not recordable due to copyright protection. Good luck!

Yes, you can record from TV as long as the show you are trying to record is not protected.

The simple answer is "yes" -- the more complex answer is : Its not like your old VHS player/recorder that would start and stop at a preset time. You have to record a program manually, but if you have a sat or cable box that will do that then you can record a program and make the copy later. If you a going to be there when the program is on tv, then you can record directly to the DR430. Hope this is clear.

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 recorded. I hooked up my unit to a separate port. To record, you would need to hook your incoming cable to the VCR. Then hook the VCR to your T.V. The signal would have to feed through the VCR in order to record. I have been told that this can lessen your signal reception, but do not know if this is true. Good luck.

The recorder does have video and audio imput jacks. I have never tried to record from the TV but I see no reason it wouldn't work especially if you use a cable or satellite box.

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

Well yeah, you can record whatever you want actually, just plug the TV signal to the capturer and voilá!

Hi, I never tried recording TV programs on it, but I guess if you can find a way to feed TV signal to the DVR it will record them also, it works just fine with the cameras though.

You cannot - it can only record the show in the resolution in which it is broadcast (HD or SD).

debarongh, While there are devices on the market that can record content (like DVRs and others), the television itself will not record content. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

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.

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.

I never used this device to record tv. I only used it to record ps3 or xbox 360 games. If DirectTv doesn't have a HDCP protecting it you might. Other than that i don't know.

I never tried it but it seems reasonable that it would record from a DVR. Since I got rid of it years ago I can't test it to see if it would, however. Good luck!

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

No. It requires an analog dvr to record. You would need an IP CAMERA to be able to record to PC. However, there are devices that convert analog to IP but at that point why not just buy an ip camera. Simple viewing may be done on any TV with composite (yellow) video.

You can record if you receive your TV signal from an antenna and you can record on a VHS from the DVD player.
