It says: "Footage is easily viewed with any standard monitor or TV using standard A/V inputs" but I haven't figured out how to record. What do I do?

this isn't a digital recording system so you would still need a recording device. I don't think this is a good choice if you're trying to set up a recording system from scratch.

I have 4 of the GE 4523 security cameras going through a 4 channel security recording system, just do an amazon search for a security DVR, there's 4 channel models for recording 4 cameras, or more channel models for more cameras. Plug the cameras into the back of the DVR, which will record all cameras, and then run 1 video cable from the DVR to your AV input on the back of your TV(it will record and display all camera pictures on the one TV screen).

John:I bought this unit for my husband for Christmas and I just checked with him. He said that you can record directly from the TV into this unit. If you want to save the program after you have watched it, you need to save it to a disc while recording or once you watch it, it automatically deletes

This camera sits there and records, nothing else. You can record footage using a host PC or Macintosh, by using EasyCAP for Mac or Windows Media Encoder for Windows. Both programs are free of charge, available on the internet. I would not recommend recording for very long though because the uncompressed file size is giant.

Over the air digital TV only or online streaming media like YouTube. You can record while you watch anything else...... Where would you find analog TV broadcast signals these days anyways? ;-)

If you don't have a cable or satellite receiver and are receiving your tv signals with an antenna, you either have a tv with a digital tuner or a separate digital tuner/ converter box connected to your tv. If you're using a digital converter box from your antenna to the tv, connect the outputs from the digital converter box into the inputs of Toshiba DR430 Recorder and then connect the outputs of the recorder to the TV inputs. You will be connecting from the video (yellow jack), audio (red & white jacks) to the same colored jacks in & out from the Toshiba DVD Recorder to an input on the TV. If you're not using a digital converter box already for your local stations, you will have to buy one to connect to the Toshiba Recorder to record local shows because the recorder does not have a tuner in it. You can buy them for about $30 bucks at Wal-Mart or Radio Shack. I gave you a lot of information but it's easy to setup. They can guide you at Radio Shack. I have one box hooked just this way and it works fine. Hope this was of help.

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

No, it's not even worth recording, very limited. Hope you find a good one for monitoring at a reasonable price.

you need some kind of outside device. It doesnt record its just plug in, turn on the tv and you have live feed.

Except for I bought this model and mine records audio and video together. It's an option in your video recording menu to allow audio & video to record together. Only allowing video, however, allows for much more recording space

I've never encountered your situation, but it seems to me that any signals that enter the recorder should record ... if you have a cable that goes from HDMI to RCA. Good luck!

In video mode it does record audio-now if I can just get it to work properly

Just plug it in into the mike symbol on your computer. I had to turn the volume way up in order to hear what was being recorded.

Can you manually select and view the correct local channels? If the problem is just recording, how do you select a program to record? What specifically happens?

This is a CCTV DVR for recording surveillance footage. Technically, it may be possible to connect a TV/Cable to the DVR through BNC adapters, tell the DVR to record at specific times, and replay the recording later, but there are far better ways to go about it, like buying a DVR suited specifically for your purpose that will probably allow you to select the shows you want to watch from a guide rather than you specifying record times manually.

You have to purchase a separate SDHC memory card to insert into the device in order to record. Once footage is recorded, you then insert the same card into your computer to import the files created.

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