Well yeah, you can record whatever you want actually, just plug the TV signal to the capturer and voilá!

I don't know. I returned the one I bought because it wouldn't advance past the opening screen in the menu system.

Not exactly sure but I do have an HD-DVR box....... Actually I'm pretty sure that it won't work on a regular HD box because it downloads (saves) the program to the hard drive on the DVR box. Hope that helps........

This unit will play a DVD recording so that your 3d-hd-tv will let you watch, but it won't be either hd or 3d. As for recording from the tv directly, my experience is that you can't do it--you need a separate tuner, and even then you need to fuss around for permission to record. If you are using a cable or satellite box, you will need to work with the provider to to let you record their content.

Yes, I use mine for that. Don't expect setting up program recordings to be as easy as cable DVR. The set up for program recording is not very user friendly but it does the job. Antenna cable attachment is easy. Output to the TV is easy as well. Just read the user manual to set up.

No. It needs software to convert the signal. Your question is a strange one since TV's already capture digital audio and video.

Not sure, I have never used it for recording. It does appear to be HD video feed onto the screen I view it from.

It will NOT record commercial DVDs to the hard drive. But it will record any DVD that's not copy-protected, including shows you may record off the air.

It records in the quality that you select in the recording menu. It can record in HD which is called "HQ" by this DVR.

Hi Donna,I'm not sure. I only recorded shows from our cable box. It worked perfectly with that.

No, this device is NOT for recording of anything! It has outputs, not inputs. You use it for playing downloaded or backed-up media content (Music and Video) on a TV that has an HDMI connection.

Yes, provided that your TV is an HDTV. See the review "How to record PC streaming video on an HDD/DVD recorder".

Be advised, unit has only a standard definition tuner. It can't record high definition tv. It will play dvds in high definition, and will upscale everything to high definition. But upscaled standard def isn't high definition.

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).

The tuner box does have a HDMI output, so it will work with newer HDTVs. The tuner box will work by picking up digital channels from "over-the-air (ATSC)" or "unencrypted digital cable (Clear QAM)" and use it to record HD TV shows. It will not pick up the analog TV channels (NTSC) from cable. This tuner box also has a media player build-in that can play back the recorded videos.

Hi, No this won't record in HD even though it may be broadcast in HD. You'd need a blueray recorder to keep it to HD quality. This is just standard definition quality. I really like the units though if that's not an issue.

Yes it does have a record function. Just program your show ie: time channel etc. the cable will have to be run through the VCR/DVD.

No, it doesn't provide that kind of service. You can only record over-the-air shows from an antenna. There's a new model, but I believe it works the same way - its tuners only accept antenna inputs.
