A-Dogg asked:
I’m planning on purchasing a dvd recorder in the near future. I have an HDTV with 2 HDMI inputs. I also have Directv with an HD/DVR receiver(I do not have tivo). My goal is to record shows saved on my dvr onto dvds. Furthermore, I would like to still watch my shows that are in HD format in HD once recorded onto dvd. What are reccomendations for a dvd recorder that will meet my needs, keeping a lower price as a consideration?
I’m also confused as to what it means by some dvd recorders that have “HD upconversion.”

I can connect the DVD recorder and watch a DVD, I was also able to get the DVD recorder to find analogue channels, but I am having no luck getting it to recognise my Freeview box and record satellite channels. It is a Mikomi DS-8668 and the Freeview box is the smaller kind with one scart socket. I have got three scart leads and some RF cables to work with, but everything I’ve tried seems to fail.
Hope someone knows! Thanks!

Ok so in better words how can I copy a copywrited dvd to my dvd recorder and then burn it to a dvd?
I have a pioneer dvd recorder. Just how do I copy a dvd to the hard drive?
the problem is just by passing the copywrite so I can copy it to the dvd recorder hard drive…

I would like to know what different features are available and where I can get the best deal. I want to make sure that it can be programmed to record from tv and that it is easy to access particular shows after they have been recorded. I also want to be able to copy dvds, if possible, with the one dvd recorder. (I know with vcrs you needed 2) Trying to find something for a good deal. No more than $100 for sure. Any ideas?

So, I am planning to burn a classic and hard-to-find Hindi movie for myself. I need to burn it onto media that will be readable in a regular DVD player in India. Any hints on what kind of media I should buy? FYI: Hindi movies typically take up about 6.5 G – they are long.

I’ve got a TV that has intergrated freeview, and want to be able to watch one channel, say E4, and record something on Dave at the same time. What DVD recorders are capable of this?
Please give examples or a particular model that would be suitable!
