can this record from cable tv
1083044
Yes. As long as you have a cable box with a composite or component output. You see, the one thing they fail to mention is that since it has no tuner of its own they neglected to install the standard RF connections.
1083045
Yes but only if you have a cable box with audio video outputs. The unit does not have a TV tuner built-in.

I run everything into my A/V unit and then I can record on the Magnavox from the A/V outputs.

No you will need a DVR to record. Any standard DVR with BNC input would work.

It depends, the unit itself has to be tuned to the channel it is recording. My output from the recorder to the TV is HDMI, so it would be possible to split the antenna signal and send it to both the recorded and the TV, then tune them separate. My problem is that the incoming signal is from a cable box, and I have to use the cable box to control channel selection, so, I am stuck with being able to watch/record only one channel at a time. It will allow you to watch what you are recording, while recording (rewind, pause, jump forward, etc.) You can also watch anything you have already recorded while recording a new show.

As long as you have an analog output on your cable box, you can record the signal with this recorder. You do have to to set your recorder up for nstc (from pal) initially. It is in the setup book how to do it. Easy. The 24 hour clock is the only thing I do not care for in timer recordings

yes this unit works fine with antenna or cable hook up. onde note of caution the color quality of your recordingswill be pale,this seems to be a minor problem with this recorder.

Yes. The CD Recorder has RCA Jack inputs. Plug the audio output from your cable box into the input of the CD Recorder and you can record to CD.

I have used it to record episodes of t.v. shows and a few football games to DVD. I was able to watch them later with no issues.Note: I use broadcast television. I do not have cable or satellite.

If you mean record off tv to dvd It has no coaxiel in or out. You need a cable or Sat. box with RCA plug.

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.

Hi Mad, normally you can't do that directly on the TV. You can record from your Cable Box. -Vincent

Yes, I believe it can. I have recorded from my DVR and also from my video camera and am completely satified with the unit. If you have doubts you can contact the manufacturer from their website.

I reviewed the recording instructions and it states this unit will not record from an analog cable box. Cable is listed as an input option though.

No, not without some trickery. The Moxi is designed to only record from a digital cable TV channel.

Well I'm no expert, but I think if you have a tv antenna with a coaxial cable and hook that into the Comcast antenna in port and than run the coaxial cable from your Comcast cable box's out/tv port into this unit's antenna in port, and than hook this unit directly to your tv, you might be able to record cable programs. Of course than you get to play the game of toying with your various remotes to learn how to switch between tv, cable etc. But I'd say it's worth a try.

It will but the features/playback will not work as easily as the one from the cable company. This unit gets pretty frustrating at times, my wife could never get it to work when she wanted to watch something recorded.

Of course. No matter where the video signal comes from, from air, cable, or other video equipment, it can record on to DVD disk or internal Hard disk.

I don't think so. I don't use it to record from the cable tv - only to play dvds and video tapes.
