Can I burn a dvd by connecting a dvd burner to my directv tivo? I want to be able to press the "record to vcr " command on the tivo and connect the dvd burner instead of the vcr. I have received mixed advice regarding signal decoding an whether this will work.
In theory it should because there is a dvr on the market which has a built in dvd burner..
Any comments will be appreciated. |

Not sure if there is a direct solution to your question, but there are several products from EyeTV (Mac compatible solutions) at http://www.elgato.com that will accomplish your task. The EyeTV systems stream the didital video from your "SAT out" on your DVR, through the connected EyeTV unit and then from the EyeTV unit, by firewire conection, directly to your computer's hard drive. You then burn a DVD of the imported digital video. There must be some solutions on the market for PCs also, but I am not aware of any. Hope this gives you a start.

I have tried this method with mixed results. In theory, we should be able to use the record to VCR function on the Direct TV DVR menu, and have it go to a DVD Recorder. In my experience over the last couple of days, I have not been able to finish a recording from a program that had been stored on the Tivo DVR. I get part way through and the whole thing freezes up on me. The only way to fix this is to unplug (off button does not work while system is frozen) the DVD Recorder and then the Tivo program resumes playing again. The DVD in the DVD recorder sometimes has not recorded the program I have requested, and sometimes it does, but only part of it. As far as I know there is no copyright on this program, or else the DVD Recorder would display a message. I have tried this with DVD-R and DVD Ram discs and they still do not work. I have tried unplugging the phone line from the Direct TV DVR (Tivo) while recording thinking that there may be a phone line conflict of some sort, but this also did not solve the issue. I have the Toshiba Combo DVD Recorder/ VCR, and the Phillips DVR from Direct TV. Customer service at Direct TV sai it can be done but they do not support this with their customer service.
DOes anybody have any ideas??
Would like to be able to:
1.)dub from old VHS to DVD.
2.) Dub from Direct TV DVR to DVD Recorder
3.) record live tv directly to DVD Recorder. |

Yes you can connect the dvd recorder to the tivo, I did it today! I used the s-video connect from the TV to the DVD recorder, than take the RCA connectors that are plugged into the hughes Tivo and disconnect them. Reconnect them in the RCA Output terminals on the DVD Recorder! I then took the RCA wires that came with my DVD recorder and plugged them in the Input terminals of the DVD recorder and plugged the other ends into the output terminals of the Tivo! It WORKS! I've recorded my first FULL movie that was saved on the Tivo! The only thing, (and that's why I came here looking for answers) is, the video button on the DVD Recorder will not work, so I have to use my orginal remote that came with the TV to switch back and forth from the tv/video button. I was wondering why this will not work if anybody out there knows, please send feedback. Also when you turn your DVD recorder off, that is when you need to switch the video input button on the remote to the off position to get back to regular TV, if you don't, you'll have a blank screen. Other than that, it works fine for recording. To record movies from Tivo, I just click the record to VCR now button, and hit record buttom on the DVD recorder! and that's it. good luck, hope this helps! |

I've recorded many DVD's right from my DirectV DVR. I have the Philips DSR 708 DVR and the Philips DVDR 77 recorder. It's +R/+RW and I use the +R all the time. Never had any problem or the need for any special wiring. I use the S-Video connection to the television and use the RCA Composite outputs to the DVDR. I hit "record to vcr" and it works flawlessly.
No problems at all. I wish there was another S-video connection on the Directv DVR - but other than that - no complaints. Very easy. The DVDR has to also be directly connected to the TV too, but I have multiple inputs on my TV so this isn't an issue. |

Y'all gave me the answers I needed--thank you! I will try the Phillips DVDR 77. Neither of the two DVD Recorders we've tried record a clear picture, even with a component connection. The one I'm returning is LiteOn. I can't remember the name of the first brand.
Hazelnut, Radio Shack is bound to have a splitter or device to provide multiple S-video connections. |

My phillips DVR is about 3 yrs old and they now appears shadowing whenever I have live TV on. I have disconected the DVR and it disappears. I have reset the system once and it seemed to help for abour 3 months but did not work when I tried to do it this time. |

How can I record to VHS a program that I have previously recorded on my DVR? |

Wow... bluefangs, I lost you halfway through. I know computers, but always have to think more when connecting TV/audio stuff. I have everything working and now want to see about copying from the DVR to my PC (and then use my DVD burner). I have a DirecTV DVR, an all-in one DVD player and home theatre system, a new-ish TV (with composite and s-video input) and a VCR. I can record from the DVR to the VCR just fine using the yellow/red/white connector wires.
I was hoping for a fairly straight-forward explanation of what I need on my PC to take output from my DVR (I wish I had one of the network capable ones!) and details on how to connect it - is there something that could take what I have plugged into my VCR and then all I have to do is move those wires I think that would be easiest - I just don't know if that's possible!
And, optionally, is there an additional step that would allow me to not need a direct physical connection? My PC and DVR are in opposite ends of the house. I do have a wireless network at home already. |

Regarding recording to VHS - if you can connect the output from your DVR to the input on your VHS (my DirecTV DVR has two outputs and I have one going to my theatre system which then goes to my TV and the other is going to my VCR), it's easy.
The key thing that wasn't intuitive to me is that if you use the RCA connectors (the red/white/yellow wires) into your VCR, you need to change the input your VCR is reading from. By default it is looking for input on channel 3 or 4. You need to figure out how to change your VCR to accept "line input". For mine, I found the info in the explantion for connecting 2 VCRs together. Strange place, I know, but that's where mine was. There was also some help in the explanation for connecting my video camera to my VCR. But, now my VCR can take the "save to VCR" output from my DVR or it will record what I'm watching too. |

Let's take this one step further. Does anybody know if there is a Directv w/ Tivo (DVR) that has a DVD recorder built in? I found a Tivo / DVD Recorder at Bestbuy.com, but it's not a Directv reciever. Has anyone seen one of these?
Humax - TiVo® Series2™ DVR/DVD-R/RW Recorder Combo - DRT800

Debra B - I've done this myself. Here are two options.
1. If you have a MiniDV or Digital8 video camera, simply run the RCA outs from the TiVO to the camera's RCA "in", then connect the camera via fire-wire to the PC and capture using any number of products (Sonic's MyDVD, ULead Studio etc.)
2. The Adeptec VideOH! converters. You can find this equipment at any CompUSA, Best Buy etc. This small unit wlll convert any analog source to digital output. (and can take the S-Video, too) and connect via USB2.0 to the PC.
You can capture as AVI or Mpeg2 - or DV format. Depending on software, you can burn directly to DVD. I've done both - both work fine. Just keep in mind, if you take two hours of AVI, it is about 25 gig of data... take the same as MPEG2 and it is about 7 gig.
Most recently, for less than $140.00 I bought a DVD burner, connected it to component out and have burned 25 or so DVDs - everything from broad cast TV to movies.

I also have a question regarding this: If I am able to get my Directv DVR to "record to vcr" to work with my DVD Recorder, do I have to be watching the program while it's recording? Or is there a "faster" transfer of the program? I have several hours worth of recordings. And would hate to sit through each one while it records. |

I too am having problems finding a way to record to DVD recorder with DirecTV DVR. At Best Buy they have NO DVD recorder options on DirecTV equipment. The salesman I talked with said that the TIVO combo units only work with cable. I then called DirectTv Customer Service and asked them what I needed to do in order to record directly from the DVR to a DVD recorder as TIVO can do when have cable. The answer was blunt and to the point. "We just don't do that!" That was the gist of the conversation, although she did say that they might have something coming but had no idea when - I think that was just a move to placate me.
I can't believe DirecTv is being so consumer market stupid. They are shooting themselves in the foot by not offering what us and a lot of other people are wanting. Oh well, maybe they'll wake up before someone else comes in and steals their customers.
Please if anyone comes up with a good way to go from the DVR to DVD without having to use the VCR jacks I would be eternally grateful. I understand that doing that requires converting the program data from digital to analog and back to digital for the DVD recording which degrades the quality of the DVD.

Perhaps you didn't know that all DVD recorders take an analog input and then convert it to 480i to record on the DVD. In other words no DVD recorders today accept a digital input signal to record a DVD.
Maybe D-TV isn't so bad after all huh?

We have had a couple Panasonic DMR-T3040 DVD recorders for a few of years now, and they have firewire inputs... as well as the regular analog inputes. We use it to take our (digital) DVCAM tapes and (digitally) record them to DVD for archive. |

What we're all looking for, and I have not found yet, is a way to get something from the DirecTiVO
to a DVD without converting it to analog ANYWHERE in the process. The original is in digital format, and a DVD that I burn on my computer or DVD burner is in digital format. Yes you can use the S-video output and make a recording, but if you do an A-B comparison (start both playing both back at the same time and switch back and forth) you WILL see some loss. I don't want to delete anything from my way-too-full 35 hour DirecTV/TIVO unit until I can have a copy that is compleltely loss-less. (i.e. digital at every step). Looking like too much to ask right now without opening up the box, yanking the harddisk(s), and learning a lot more Linux than I ever want to have to. Someone prove me wrong?

"Someone prove me wrong?"
Can't, you are correct and always will be. I am assuming the TIVO has no firewire output. In case it did you could purchase a DVHS reacorder.

Check out this link. http://www.weaknees.com/tivo_dvd_faq.php
Basically it says: If you have DirecTV and are looking for a TiVo that can also burn to DVD, then you have a tough decision. On one hand, you can purchase a DirecTV/TiVo unit and a separate DVD recorder without TiVo. Alternatively, you can purchase a TiVo DVD combo and use it with a separate DirecTV receiver.
I think the Humax unit you are referring to KNI is just the standalone device so you will have to buy another lifetime subscription if you purchase this unit (at least that is what I'm trying to confirm). |

what is so hard? you dont need to be concerned with the "record to VCR" function. all you need to do is playback whatever you wan tto record and then hit record on your dvd recorder and sit through it in real time. Boom, there's your copy. Composite or S-video out from DVR to Composite or S-Video In to the recorder. you're set. |

"""Composite or S-video out from DVR to Composite or S-Video In to the recorder. you're set."""
It actually wasn't QUITE that simple - when I have an HDTV, DVDR, DVR, VCR, CD and RCVR all hooked up together. I guess its a matter of trial and error, what to plug into where to get it to work. Thank goodness for +RW DVDs to try and try again. But otherwise, once connected, yeah just it record for whatever your watching, or play whatever is on your DVR then hit record on your DVDR. Just wish I didn't have so many wires connected. The problem I had was keeping my VCR connected as well to my DVDR, so I didn't have to keep switching wires when I wanted to record from VCR to DVDR or DVR to DVDR. |

I can't use TiVOToGo so that isn't an option.
But there is a USB on both my PC & MAC (which have DVD burners), and there is a USB on the Philips tivo DVR. So can I just somehow connect the DVR to my PC or Mac? I would like to not have to buy anything else because it seems like this would work. |

Correct me if im wrong, but the USB and Network jacks on the Tivo/DVR boxes arent active unless fully hacked and even so, last I looked they cant be used to transfer data so for anyone asking that, do a google search and maybe you can find more useful information for us. Otherwise, they are unusable. |

OK, if I understand correctly, burning a DVD from a DVR is done ideally via the S-Video output from the DVR to the S-Video input on the DVD recorder. But, from what I believe I've learned here, there will be a conversion to analog along the way. Is this correct?
I am wanting to record the digital music that is available on the music channels(Dish Network)onto DVD's so that I can play them while traveling, etc. So, before I make the investment into a DVR and a DVD Recorder, can this be done without any problems?? And, if there is an analog conversion in the process, would the audio(music quality) suffer noticeably? |

Maybe good info for someone trying to go from there DVR to DVD
I have not followed the DVR hacking for over a year. I hacked all of mine, adding larger hard drives ever so often to increase storage. Plus there are a few benifits like NO ADS!, multiple scheduling playback and NO SCRAMBLE!!
You CAN add a eithernet network adaptor and transfer the recorded shows to your computer via eithernet. As I said before I never kept up on it, but I am sure there has been much progress in the past year and a half. I do have network cards in my tivo but never have followed thru with it.
The forums I followed *eal*ataBase many people loved being able to go digital to digital to dvd, instead of digital to analog and back to digital.
If anyone is interested please look above and go to that forum for more info.
I hope this answers someone questions. |

Many of channels especially Live and Pay-per-View are protected. You have to use Dimax product to filter it. http://www.xdimax.com/dvd/dvdredpro.html
At least this is what I'm using with my Sony RDR HX300 and it works just fine. |

I have a Sony HD TV. I'm about to throw everything out the window. I also just learned from DirecTV that there is a problem with the HDMI cable. Mine stopped working and I was told to use component cables instead. I'm not very happy. |

I didnt think there were any options other than composite inputs for most all dvd recorders. Other than adding an composite video amplifier/splitter which will help the video quality SOME.
Are the cables bad? Try a NEW cable to make sure. or is it the HDTivo DVR (the outputs)?
If its the HDTivo (I wouldnt keep something that doesnt work 100%) I would call DTV and ask for CUSTOMER RETENTION, let them know the issues and how disgusted you are with dtv's customer service and lack of expertece along with the disconnects, voice prompts that go in circles only to be transfered and disconnected again. Tell them your fed up and unless you get a REPLACEMENT HDTIVO at no more expence to you (other than maybe shipping) YOU WILL BE CALLING DISH NETWORK when you hang up.
I am pretty sure THAT WILL get there attention
Hope I have been of some help.

Ok, I've got a laptop PC with an ethernet port, 3 usb 2.0 ports, an s-video port and a dvd burner...I also have a Motorola Dual tuner DVR/HDTV capable with ethernet, usb, and s-video connection. I want to transfer recorded shows and movies to my PC, to burn them on DVDs. I've tried the USB 2.0 linking cable, and an ethernet cable, and my computer didn't recognize the DVR. I also have a HDTV capable TV with an s-video port. Do I have to hack into the DVR somehow to get the ports to transfer data or should I get an s-video cable? And if I get the s-video cable, do I hook it up to the TV or DVR? Is there anything else I have to do? |

I'm getting ready to purchase a new Sony Bravia HDTV, along with upgrading my Surround Sound to 7.1 Dolby. I, like others, want to archive TiVo programs to make room by burning them to a DVD burner. Read all the messages, and what I take away is this: "use the S-Video connection to the television and use the RCA Composite outputs to the DVDR". Hopefully this will work because my wall unit is hard to get to, and I want everything hooked up correctly from the start! The Comcast tech checking my line said that it can be done, but a Fire Wire connection is necessary...
FYI: I've been a DirecTV subscriber for about 6 years, but they want me to BUY a $500 HDTV box, whereas with Comcast, I rent it for $10 bucks a month, plus get the local channels in HD without having to add an outside antennae. If anybody has any NEW updates on recording from an HDTV DVR direct to DVD (without having to change any wiring each time) it would be very helpful. If you want to upgrade to new technology, shouldn't it be much easier than this? Maybe I should wait until a High-Definition DVD Recorder is available on the market...! |

My suggestions are to STAY with the DirecTivos, there "new" in house dvr is a piece of J U N K.
If your used to DUAL tuners then then the "new dtv dvr has access to only 1 tuner. Its very sad. Better by a DirecTivo now befor ethere gone for good, our only hope is that dtvs new dvr fails miserably and they return to tivo. Rare but it could happen, especially when they decide to "shaft" there customers and force them to buy the new dtv dvr. THEN the customer gets it and sees they have even less features then before. The crap will hit the fan.
for more info go to:
hxxx://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/index.php
ANYONE can hack/upgrade the DirecTivo to current StandAlone Tivo standards. INCLUDING Home Media Option, increase recording time (up to hundreds & hundreds of hours) and even transfer there recordings to there computer (pc & mac) and archive them on dvd for later viewing.
Hope this helps someone out there.

Testing 1-2-3
IF you have been a subscriber for awhile, contact dtv customer retention, and ASK for a dtv HDTivo, they have some left and if you agree to another year rather than cancle and go with Dish I believe they will work it out with you. Be sure to agree to pay the s&h (about $15)and ask for a free month or 2 of the HD channels. The HDTivo CAN be accessed (see my previous post for the link)Go read up on it, you will be amazed.
I hope I help ya |

Have a Hughes Direct TV w/ TIVO and a Sony HX900 HD w/ DVD recorder. It seems as if the Sony does not
have the ability to recognize Direct TV.
I have made many recordings/ using the TIVO function- however can only do so in "real time" -
in other words to record a movie takes 2 hours.
This renders the 160gb Sony HARD DRIVE useless/
how can I get the Sony HD/ recorder to decode Direct TV so as to be able to use the HD and burn to DVD
in minutes v/s hours?? |

I haven't figured out how to get my recordings off my Phillips Directv TiVo yet, but once I do, there is a great program called Videora iPod Convertor that works great to convert video to the ipod format. I use it with DVD Decryptor ( http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Rippers/SetupDVDDecrypter_3.5.4.0.exe) to tranfer DVDs to my iPod. So I guess if you have a DVD recorder, you could record from your TiVo to DVD, then convert on your pc... |

I got a Sanyo DVD recorder for Christmas. Other than having a setting or 2 wrong, it records directly from my DirectTV Tivo via S-Video and RCA's for Audio.
My question is this, can you record multiple programs onto one DVD +R? I know you can't once you finalize, but can you add to a disc before it is finalized.
I am wanting to put 2-3 episodes of Miami Vice on each disc, but I can't figure out how to do that. |

I just got a DVR and copied 3 dvd's from my direct tivo to the DVR. The dvd's work great on my DVR player, but won't play on any other DVD player I have in my house or my Dad's house. Has anyone else had this problem? |

Renea,
I am not an expert, but I will bet you didn't finalize the disks.
