Re: [CATV] Recording Charter signal with DVD recorder
said by Olpal Gary :
I'm wanting to use the DVD/R just like a VCR, watch one, record another or record while we're away! I've just purchased a DVD/VCR recorder combo with tuners, that does what you want... on MY setup. I do NOT have a cable card or a set top box. I have a splitter on my direct cable connection from the wall.
I don't know if the ATSC/NTSC/Qam tuners will work for you, with a splitter, but it's worth inquiring about.

1 edit | said by Big Dawg 23  :msmisfit, what unit did you get? I am consider on getting one. I settled on a JVC, after first buying a Toshiba that I had to return.
*I* had to adjust to DVD Combo Recorders, being slower to start than my DVD player combo, but the Toshiba model was a piece of junk. The JVC is slightly noisy when it first starts up, and starts rewinding, but it has worked flawlessly, compared to the Toshiba[which hung up on tapes and disks, and was slow as molasses]. I've tested it on TV recording/play back with DVD-R disks and VCR tapes [with a direct connection], and playing CD-WMA music files.

Since you're familiar with JVC products, you should be quite satisfied with this unit, if it does all that you want. I forgot to mention before, that it doesn't have a programmed TV commercial skip for the VCR, but you can use the FF and pause buttons to substitute.
Good luck in your search. I'd look for some sales around the holidays, if you're not in a hurry.
