How to record TV onto a DVD-R Disk

Question

I'm trying to record television shows onto a DVD, but I'm not sure how. My TV is connected to a VCR, and I'm able to record onto blank VHS tapes, but I want the shows on DVD, not VHS. I have a DVD player connected to the TV also, but I'm not sure how to make it record the TV. When I try to record from the cable itself, the only option is to record using my VCR, not DVD player. I'm using Cox Cable without DVR by the way. What should I do?

Answer 1

Most DVD players will NOT record DVDs.

Additionally, you should probably get a DVR from cox, since then you can record the exact quality from the DVB stream provided by cox and not a 2nd gen cheapo-transfer..

Answer 2

-Invest in another Dvd player one that can record or burn DVDs from TV

-Invest in a DVR such as tivo, send the recorded programs wirelessly to your pc from which there you can burn them on to DVDs

-You can convert VHS to DVDs at some electronic stores
