Series 3 Tivo DVR? I read in an earlier comment that the Series 3 DVR will allow better functionality around recording 2 programs at once when both analog and digital signals are involved. I'm finally ready to buy a TIVO since the dual recorded was introduced earlier this month, but I'm not fond of the dual recording limitation (that only one analog and one digital can be simultaneously recorded, or two analog, etc..).

Therese - We are first generation as well. Did you buy the lifetime plan? If you did you can move to the 2nd generation and not pay a subscription fee if you do it before July 23!

Series 3, which will allow for digital channel recording, will start out at a much higher price than ~$200 (some say from $500~$700). So shop with you wallet in mind. You can check out tivocommunity.com for more details (speculation).

The TiVo 3 is coming soon I hear from my sources. We are TiVo Lovers and have a special site to keep people updated on the latest news on the release of the TiVo 3. Please see TivoLove.com. I am so excited about the new series 3!

Thanks for your input== The unit died on me so back to the store. I never realized how inefficient these unit are-- I do a lot of recording to DVD-RW discs so this unit wont be of any help-- (I had just purchased another 50 DVD-RW discs)I forgot how much work there is in recording the old fashioned way with all the Start & end times-Ch # . With Fios's guide you only have one button to record for future events. I think I'll wait til they come out with a unit with a guide. Although it seems like these units are near the end and will be replaced soon. thanks again!

I don't see a button for "DVR". I am trying out a 880 before I give it to my mom and the only way to get to "DVR" is through DEVICE then PVR and then the DVR button is on page one. I don't see a DVR button on this "one" either. Am I missing something?

That's interesting. I wonder why it's called a DVR. I actually had the same question as Dennis, thanks for your reply.OK. I just got off the phone with tech at Archos and both the home and travel DVR do record from TV, VCR and DVD player. The main difference is the Home DVR dock is not travel friendly because of size/weight and there is no "s" plug on the travel dock.

I actually don't own one anymore, but no...you cannot record more than one show at a time because unfortunately, this machine only has one tuner in it. However, a similar but better DVR is Tablo, which comes in a two tuner and four tuner version.

I have been using it for a Direct TV DVR! It has worked fine until it reached just over 1TB of recording at the remote TV location. This location apparently can not support much beyond this point. It shows the latest recordings & older ones, but not the entire recordings. At the main TV location, the receiver/DVR does seem to support additional content, but everything is slower. ie: switching between channels & programming. The current DVR is 1TB, so that may explain the problem. If the Zmodo recording ability is less than 3 TB there may be a problem of support for additional storage.

No. However, my DirecTv HD-DVR allows for the recording of multiple programs while watching another channel. I would think yours does too.

It looks like they just added the ability to only record new episodes.http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/30/channel-master-dvrplus-gets-youtube/

It lists Tivo as a supported device on page 53 of the manual. See: http://www.universalremote.com/pdf/Manual_RF10.pdf. It doesn't specify which Tivo DVR is supported (Series 3, Roamio, etc) but my past experience with Tivo's has been that they have been relatively compatible with each other in terms of IR inputs. Given my experience with this device and the Uverse DVR, I wouldn't recommend it. Despite what others have written about this device learning "everything", it would only learn a useless subset of keys from the AT&T; remote.

Margaret, not that I am aware of. I'm pretty sure that is a feature specifically for Tivo-to-Tivo. I would think the actual recording file format is different and proprietary to prevent pirating.

Hi, I contacted TIVO and asked that question and came to the conclusion that I needed the TIVO device! Works great and have been able to transfer recordings between TIVO's.

You most definitely can record both cameras at the same time, depending on the model u can record up to 8 cameras at the same time, the monitor allows u to look at n record all cameras attached either one by one or all on one screen in smaller tiles. Hope this was helpful

I currently have 3 up and running. To my knowledge, you should be able to set up more than that but I am unsure of what the limit is, if any. I don't have any issues with signal drop issues with multiple cams set up. I do not think you can set this up to recored to a DVR. Any recordings are saved to your computers hard drive. One limitation to the recording is that your computer must be up and running for the recordings to work.

some dvr can record up to 16 channel. most only 4.Anyway check your settings on the dvr it will have record video only or video and audio ( V ) or (V/A).You cannot mix them togather the first 4 channels are ment for audio each camera each mic

I've got the same question as Jonathan -- does this DVRRecorder pick up cable channels? will it get the 500s-700s? If so, I'm ready to buy! :-DI don't get decent reception antenna only so I have to use cable, much as I hate shelling out to Comcast every month I'm stuck with them. ;-p I've been resisting TIVO b/c I don't want to pay an additional monthly subscription fee. Why would anyone pay monthly for Tivo if you can do the same thing for free with a DVDRecorder like this one?

Keep in mind that this is a HDD and not really a DVR. The significant difference being you pay no monthly service charge renting the unit to a satellite company. I have had mine up and running for a couple of months now, and really like it. By it having a 1 Terabit hard drive, I doubt it very much you will run out of recording space. The significance between this HDD and a DVR, is that you can dub directly to a DVD. Also, the external jacks allow you to copy anything that will connect to it. So if you have old VHS tapes, you can convert them to digital to the hard drive, then copy to a DVD. A DVR cannot do this. This unit will allow you to receive both analog and digital TV reception because it has a built in tuner. Magnavox was the only one on the market that I checked into that was even close to buying. It was very easy to set up and get started using. I don't think you would be disappointed if you bought one, especially if you don't wan't to pay the crazy monthly cable fees.

Hello Martin,my wife is logged on and I saw your post.I have this recorder,Dp-008.8 tracks but you can only record 1or 2 at a time,then go back and record on another 1or 2 until all 8 are full. There's only 2 inputs anyway.this is true for the dp-oo4 4trk also.Mabey a different brand or I know most 16tr recorders allow 4 at once.Hope this helps,you probably have your answer already. Allen
