Can I record a show from my dvr to a vhs tape?

Question

We have satilite tv and dvr from direct tv and I'm trying to tape a show I have recorded on my dvr. Here's the deal. I'm on tv2. Tv1 is the one hooked up to the actual dvr box and I have a cable coming from the wall kinda like when we had cable. I do not have a dvr box, it all is hooked up to my tv. I tried to hook my vcr to my tv and when I turn it on, my signal on my tv gets very fuzzy. I have to switch my vcr to tv mode before i get a clear signal on it, but as far as I can tell, I can't record from tv mode. Also, my vcr wont change channels for me. It goes from ch 3 to something called L and if I try to enter a channel from my remote, it changes to that channel and just starts flashing.

Answer 1

i think i may have an answer but im not sure so you have to let me know if it works or not, try this, if your using the yellow, red and green cables that go (out) of the dvr and (in) to the tv, try and take them out of the back of the tv but leave the ones in the back of the dvr.  then take the cables that were in the tv and plug them into the (input) on the back of the vcr.  then you take either the plain cable wire (fat black wire you s***w in) or more of the yellow red and white cables, put them into the (output) of the vcr, then the other end of that cable, go (input to the tv.  That way your dvr runs strait through the vcr and all you should have to do is put in a tape and hit record.  Please let me know if this is what you were looking for and if it worked, if it isnt or dosent, i'll try to think of something else.  my email is : [e-mail].

Answer 2

or try this use a scart plug.  plug the scart into the tv socket on the tvr then plug the other end into av 1 on the video then run another scart from av2 on the video to the tv . if that doesnt work just switch the first scart to av2 then run av1 to the tv . but if you want both tvr and sattelite to run through the video plug the tvr into ext 1 on the video and the sattelite into av1 or av2 on the video . when the l shows on screen press the l or line button on the video remote that will switch your video so you can record either from tvr or sattelite depending on youre choice pressing line twice switches the machine to sat or tvr by the way you shouldnt need to hook up tvr or sat direct to tv you should have all items wired into video that way the video can send the signal to your tv
