Hello,
I am new to all the this dvd recording stuff and am looking for some help. Just bought a Samsung DVD Recorder and want to record a different channel while watching another, set up timer...etc....
Can someone please give me the logistical setup of everything? I have DirecTV HD receiver with a DVD recorder plus a TV (of course). I tried to do it but all I got was a snow storm on DVD.

Thanks!!!

You can't record one channel while watching another with a satellite. You also can't record HD. Connect the sat to the recorder with s-video or RCAs and set the recorder on whatever input you used.

Connect the sat to the DVD with s-video or RCAs and set the recorder on whatever input you used. You can't record HD, so you may have to change settings on the sat.
