How can I record tv shows on a blank DVD?

Question

I heard that a DVD recorder can help but can I play DVDs on the recorder?

Answer 1

yes, on an up convert dvd recorder, you can also play dvds.

With high def and digital tv shows lot's of people are going to these dvr's and tivo's.  They have that time slip and commercial skip stuff.  Trouble is, you're renting them with a monthly payment.  Also, they record to a hard drive.  You can't move the recording to an actual dvd platter.  For that you've got to have a dvd recorder.  

Trouble with the dvd recorder is, unless you really get something expensive, you don't have those time slip features.  Also scheduling recordings while watching something else usually don't work.  Even setting up a timed recording of two different programs unattended is usually not available on the standalone dvd recorders.  

I think I telling you correctly?  If not hopefully somebody will correct me.
