Connecting Direct tv DVR, Tv and VCR/DVD player?

Question

I am trying to connect my dvr tv and vcr/dvd player so I can record to dvd from the satellite. I can connect my normal non dvr box fine with the a vcr, but I cannot get it to work with my dvr.

I have tried connecting the rca cables out from the satellite into the vcr out the vcr into the tv.

I have tried rca cables going out from satellite into the tv and out from the satellite into the vcr and rf out of the vcr into the tv, which is how the non dvr box works.

I have also tried coaxial out from satellite into vcr out to tv, all with no luck. I'm not sure what else I could try.

Any suggestions? Thank you.

go to an radio-shack or best buy and buy this converter box that they have that will let you hook them all up at once.
