Have Vz Fios, would like to records movies onto a DVR for traveling. Can we do this direct from the DVR?

Question

Have a DVD recorder with hookups.

Answer 1

Set it up like this:

Coax from wall to STB (set top box)

Output of STB to input of DVD Recorder

Output of DVD Recorder to TV

Play what you have recorded on the DVR and find it playing on the TV, once you see it on the TV, you will be all set to record.  Most likely you will have to tune the DVD Recorder to channel 3.
