Home audio & video forum: I want to record from my cable DVR to a DVD-Recorder...

It asked for those that owned such and such. As such, responses may be very few.

You gave little info about your setup.
If you cable DVR has s-video and audio outputs you can get a stand alone DVD recorder and dub them over. John

I just recently purchased a philips dvdr80 with the faroudja dcdi chipset. this records to dvd+r and has the capability to meet your needs.
your cable box should have an additional line out for the dvr, use this.

Hi jcrobso,

I have thankfully come across your post in the CNET forums. Been trying to get the shows I have recorded on my Directv DVR copied to the DVD-R.

I have: Sumsung DVR Model SIR-S4080R, Toshiba DVD-R RW Model
#D-KRIOKU. 13yr old Panasonic TV CT27SF2271,with S-Video capabilities. I do not have HD. I also have a DVD/VCR Combo drive hooked to the DVR. Unfortunately for some unknown reason the ability to "send to VCR" from the DVR just stopped working. So I am wondering if part of the problem lies with Directv equipment.


No matter what I do, what directions I follow, even some I found on the net by people with the same problems, I cannot get it to work. Directv is like hitting a blank wall, everything short of they don't support it, which obviously they don't.

Any help you could send my way would be so appreciated, I am totally lost.
Thanks !

Lin
