Answer 2

Be sure that your vhs is connected to your tv output.  Then, as you play the dvr recording, (be sure that your output connection to your vhs is on the same channel you are playing your dvr on) press "record" on your vhs.  I hope i'm not missing a couple steps, but it's not too difficult.  Ha.  I used to work for directv.

Answer 3

i cannot high speed dub from DVR to DVD-r.  but this works for me...Using the coax out of the DVR to the VHS cable in.  switch my receiver to DVD input, begin the recording and then start the recorder.  all screen content is copied to DVD/VHS.
