My OTA signals come in with decimals, 4.1, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 etc. Will this dvr pick up these channels to record?

The DVR's tuner works same as a TV for OTA so it can receive and record all the channels that your TV can receive.

You don't wanna do that. Even if you could get it to work, it wouldn't select channels by itself, you'd have to manually change the channel on the digital converter box to whatever you want to record next. Plus, it'd all be low-def. To record from a rooftop antenna to a DVR, you need a DVR with an ATSC tuner -- or, preferably, several ATSC tuners so you can record multiple channels at once. Since everybody using a rooftop antenna can't live without such a DVR, there are zillions to choose from -- NOT! I dunno what's wrong with this market, but finding such a DVR is ridiculously difficult. I have two. The first and best is the Channel Master CM-7000PAL, which has two tuners and therefore can record two programs at once in full HD. The other is a Magnavox MDR515H which only has one tuner and only records in low-def, although it's still widescreen and a very good fidelity low-def so it's quite watchable. It also can record on a rewritable DVD which would be nice when the HD fills up, but being low-def it has 250 hours of space on the HD so it'll never fill up. Last I heard, one or both of these models are NLA -- but that *might* be because they've introduced new and better models. Channel Master, for example, was supposed to introduce a 3-tuner model. I'm sorry the options aren't better. I'd very much like to find out why the market for ATSC DVR's is suppressed and throttle somebody.

Yes, this picks up Over the Air signals (OTA) and will pass those signals along to your TV whether you are receiving analog or digital, HD or standard.

yES, USE AN OPTICAL DIGITAL CABLE FROM THE dvr, or from the tv if it has such an output. eITHER ONE WILL PRODUCE THE SAME SOUND, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT i HAVE.

I'm not at my dvr at the moment - but you can record audio on at least channels 1 and 2. I do not believe audio record is available on the other 14 channels. For channels 1 and 2 you can add a microphone to the cameras and connect to the dvr.

I've got the same question as Jonathan -- does this DVRRecorder pick up cable channels? will it get the 500s-700s? If so, I'm ready to buy! :-DI don't get decent reception antenna only so I have to use cable, much as I hate shelling out to Comcast every month I'm stuck with them. ;-p I've been resisting TIVO b/c I don't want to pay an additional monthly subscription fee. Why would anyone pay monthly for Tivo if you can do the same thing for free with a DVDRecorder like this one?

The DMR-EH69 will stay on AV4 the tv is on Channel 3 and your cable box changes the channels. No problems, I have 3 all working the same way. The only thing that some people have problems with is what ever channel the cable box is on. That is what your recording, The box can't be on 13 and record 25 at the same time. Whatever the channel is on. That is what it's recording. If you don't have a problem with that, your good.

Yes. This product can record both OTA and cable channels. This include the digital cable channels that have HD contents.

Yes it'll go to the HD channels no problem. But there is no decimal point on this remove, not quite sure what you are asking.

I'm not sure what those are. Sorry. All I did was order it and hoped it would work. Mine works fine on my main dvr

If you have a digital converter box I would say yes. Their tech support is excellent. Give them a call.

It should. I am not a DVR expert but my cable TV DVR has an HDMI out that went to my monitor using the DVI input and it works great. I didn't have to change anything on my DVR and only had to select the DVI input on the monitor settings. As per the other person's answer, there is no audio signal going into the monitor the DVI input only supports video, not digital audio. So if you want your audio from the DVR, you will need to use the audio output with a cable for that as well (RCA, L/R stereo, digital optical, etc.).

I'm not sure. I did not have mine long enough to try that. If you try it & it does could you tell me? The recorders that I've seen other folks use will record it from a DVR, but it's not 720 or 1080. It's only 480( standard def).

If you unit has universal RCA connections, it will connect to the DVR. Mine is connected to an amplifier. I am so pleased with it that I am going to get another for my surround sound that is connected to my DVR.
