Does it record TV to hard drive?

Yes, you can record to either a DVD disc or to the built in hard drive. I have been recording to the hard drive exclusively since I don't want permanent copies. I just erase the shows after I watch them. I recommend using the HQ option when recording for best quality. If you do decide to make a permanent copy you can dub to a DVD from the hard drive. You can go to the Magnavox web site and download the free users manual. That will answer all your questions.

I don't know if it does or not. I returned it because I couldn't get it to do what I bought it for.

Since it has its own tuner the recorder will record tv signals to the internal hard drive-cable into recorded then out to TV.

There is no hard drive but you can plug a big on e into the USB port. I have a 2 TV drive that works great.

I believe that the statement above is incorrect . This device should record HDTV broadcast since it contains an ATSC tuner. However it will not play the broadcast back as HD since the media to which it writes (regular DVD & VHS tape) do not support playback in HD. Ergo you lose some definition in playback.

if you put a hard drive in yes it will record directly to the dvr unit just remember you need the 3.5 hard drive say for a laptop not a full size drive

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.

We are so sorry that there is not hard drive installed, you can purcahse it yourself and install it. Sure you can hook it to your TV, it has three video output interface: BNC/VGA/HDMI, thank you.

I don't think this will do what you want. I don't believe it actually records anything. It basically connects a hard drive to your TV. I bought mine long ago and it's since found a spot in my closet. While it may have improved since I bought mine, the interface was very clunky.

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.

Yes - you can record. I don't know about the DVR with hard drive - however - here's what I recommend: Get the Blue Iris software - yes it runs on Windoze - but - you'll have a ball with the features and what you can do to manage the camera, the alerts and recording clips. I have 4 of the 18905's outdoors and 4 18910's indoors :)

No hard disk is needed but some models can have a usb hard drive that you put your own content on using your PC, such as mp3s or mpg content. The hardrive is plugged into the ROKU box. Unpotected content such as news or podcast can be recorded to your DVR. All content is streamed then composed to video for your TV. ( I am speaking of the ROKU box)

The HomeWorx unit does NOT have an internal recorder. It does allow for an external hard drive to be connected to it and then record and playback from the external hard drive. You would need to acquire an external hard drive. The output from HomeWorx is meant to be analog for the pre-digital TV sets. I don't know if it has a digital output as well. If your TV is already digital I don't think this is what you are looking for.

Yes you can add a hard drive (I put a 1 TB SATA) and then set it to record to it.

The short answer is ... 'no'. As DrDon explained previously, the device is basically a capture device that converts the output video signal from your TV, XBox, etc into a file that can be saved on the connected computer using the software that comes with the device. You can then take that file and copy it from the computer to an external drive if you wish ... or you can record directly to an external drive connected to the computer which is actually how I do it.

No. It needs software to convert the signal. Your question is a strange one since TV's already capture digital audio and video.
