DVR and VCR recording help?

Question

My father doesn't have DVR, and whenever I try to record something it tells me that my VCR recording is starting. What do I do to record? Do I need a VCR tape in the VCR to record? Will it be on the blank tape?

Answer 1

make sure the dvr is connected to the input on the vcr then from the vcr out to ur tv then turn on ur tv and get vcr on the right channel u will know when u see ur dish out of the blue from the vcr try ch 3,4 or line 1 or line2 on ur vcr not the tv if u get this far then put the blank tape into the vcr and press record on the vcr then play the program u want on the dvr and that is how u do it if u can make sense of this
