I have a digital box setup from TWC, will I be able to connect to my box and record?

Most likely not. This DVR uses a Coaxial Input (the kind used by over-the-air antennas). While the cable input into your "Cable Box" is a coaxial input, this device does not have the ability to convert the (scrambled/digital) signal from the cable company into a picture you could view on your television. Your best bet would be to ask your cable provider to supply a DVR which is designed to work on their system.

You have to have a cable card in the device for it to work. Your situation may neccessetate some sort of capture card. This one is truly a cable recording device like a settop box DVR

That should work fine. Have you considered the higher resolution camera. Just make sure you have a Power Over Ethernet router or use the POE from the DVR. I have three cameras connect through a wireless bridge. That works great.

No. A "DVR" with Cat5 inputs is typically an NVR or Network Video Recorder, and would require IP cameras. Do some research online and make sure you are using the correct camera type to go with your "DVR".

Yes, you can record a channel and watch another channel, all you have to do it to return to your T.V. mode. and let the recorder continue on. You can also watch a recorded program from the recorder and record another program at the same time. Just read the manual and play with thesystem and you will become a pro after a short time. If everything else fails, just study the manual. Hope this helps, Doug

Yes, as long as you have a tuner or cable box. You must have a tuner or cable box with Audio/Video outputs (the white/yellow/red outputs). I use my cable box to record to the unit (VHS or DVD) every day.

Yes you can if connected properly. We have our connected to Directv box and Directv box to tv. We record usually to the box and then when we watch the show, we record to disc.

I reviewed the recording instructions and it states this unit will not record from an analog cable box. Cable is listed as an input option though.

It wont be free but the fee will be minimal. You will need to lease a cable card from your cable company, usually only a couple of dollars a month. With that the dvrs from twc and comcast are pointless.

Yes, you can split the cable and record using the coax cable input on this device and bypass the cable DVR box. The DVR coax output on cable boxes is analog; therefore, this unit will not record from the cable DVR box. In addition, only broadcast HD TV channels can be recorded with this device.

I don't think so, although there might be a tweak or solution. However, if you have 2 or more Tivo's, you can access each other's recorded content from any of the connected Tivo

Sure, but you need a tuner for the input. Any cable box or digital antennae will provide a "signal out" to plug into the recorder. The unit does NOT have it's own tuner.

No. I believe I read somewhere on TiVo's web site that only digital cable is supported. Might want to contact TiVo to confirm.

We could not get this to work with Time Warner Cable -- their techs spent over 4 hours at our home trying to get the digital local channels to record, eventually blaming it on our private wireless network router config (bullcrap) so we returned it. Sorry! (but if you have TWC, good luck!)

You will be able to replace the set top box/DVR from Comcast. You'll need some way to connect the TiVo box to the Internet, either a phone line or connect to your high speed network (recommended). I bought a TiVo wireless network card and hooked it up to my TiVo.

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

I don't know. I just returned it and got my money back. I tried recording on it several times and Western sent me several replacements, but each didn't work with my TW Cable box.
