Does the tuner work with mpeg4? My current dvr only works with mpeg2 and I cannot view certain hd channels that are mpeg4.

Yes, the CETON cable card tuner will work for mpeg4 video. You may have problems with video drivers, or need to install codecs, but the tuner is perfectly capable of handling it.

I actually don't own one anymore, but no...you cannot record more than one show at a time because unfortunately, this machine only has one tuner in it. However, a similar but better DVR is Tablo, which comes in a two tuner and four tuner version.

I purchased one and installed on my DVR box (SA Explore 8300HDC). The DVR recognized the drive and prompted for formatting the drive. Another reboot of the DVR and every thing works. I did not lose my previously recorded video. Thanks,--CY

no, it does not. actually, I have had it over a year and it has never been used-apparently when the FCC mandated a completely digital signal after Jan. 31, 2009 it created a situation where the tuner does not "see" channels so they can be loaded. I also have a Toshiba machine with the same problem. This is a pet gripe of mine-none of the Tivos or cable co. dvrs contain a computer drive like these did; you used to be able to record to the hard drive, and then edit and save to a blank disc if it was something you wanted to archive. The fact that I PAY for cable and can't even do what I want with it makes me nuts!

I previously owned a Toshiba DVR that would record,to the hard drive,all cables channels.That was in the analog days.The previously mentioned DVD/VCR recorder will not record anything to DVD or video tape that is on certain cable channels (Discovery,for example).It contains a QAM digital tuner. Are you saying that the Magnovox MDR515H will not record the copyguarded channels,even to it's hard drive ? I do not intend to attempt to make DVD copies,just time shift programming.I know,of course,the DVRs provided by the cable company will do this with all channels provided.

I am looking to buy a dvd recorder that will record from vhs. I have sooo many videos of family that I want to transfer to dvd in order to preserve them. This tuner vs tunerless thing is confusing me. Can someone explain it to me? I do not have cable tv and do not want it.

I'm not exactly sure what your question covers...if you're asking will this camera connect to your unit...it appears so...I have never seen your unit, but looking t their web page for them, it appears they use RCA connectors for the video...most others use BNC type...but both can be converted one to the other with a simple device you can buy cheap. If you're asking about the signal...yes this camera will work just fine with your DVR..

cooper, I'm a novice too, but It did'nt take me long to set up my cable tv, to record on the SiliconDust HDHomeRun DUAL..., just set up the tuners on the dual first, then on the windows media center on the computer,, over air or cable tv,,set up is the same, I'm sure It Is..that is how I set It up. I have windows media center on my pc, ( windows 7 pro..) also, windows media center will walk you threw It, ...It was easy to do It.. from dennis..

This model has no tuner at all. I use the tuner from an older VCR and connect it to the Panasonic DMR-EH59 with RCA cables. I set the Panasonic unit to the DV1 channel and let the VCR tune to my channel of choice.

Sorry, no. The unit DOES NOT have a digital/HD tuner. Broadcast TV that you receive via antenna is now all HD. I made the mistake of not asking about that before I bought the unit myself and found out the hard way. It may work with a digital TV converter box. Good luck.

I have an older Direct TV DVR (model HR-20-100S). Will this HD work for me? Also, can I make it the default HD, to avoid using the lousy internal HD in the Direct TV DVR? (I have had about 10 crash and burn on me over a 10 year period, and lost hundreds of recorded programs.I would pay extra if they had a reliable solid state HD as an option).

I don't think your VCR has a digital tuner, so you'll have to get one of those converter boxes (remember the converter coupons in, I think, 2009?) so your VCR will understand the digital TV signals. You hook your antenna to the converter, then go from the converter to the VCR.

The channels above 150 are fully digital channels. Therefore they cannot be tuned in without a digital tuner. The tuner built into the recorder is analog only.

Your DVR must support audio, if it does there will be seperate connectors an controls for the audio. I hope this helps.

it is not a bad unit, it just your tv resolution is not match to the dvr's display resolution. you need to connect the dvr to a VGA monitor then change the display resolution of the dvr that is match to your tv.

tuner works for analog and digital signals (cable or over the air). It dooes not record in HD--but it does upconverty the recordings to hd. Plays pre recorded disks in upconverted clarity. You will be spoiled by the hard drive recording (no tpes etc) Can be bought from Walmart on ship to store(on line)
