can you program/record a tv show on the vcr

Yes you can, please note however, this did not come with the remote. The remote is required to do the programming and dubbing. I had to buy a remote separately.

As long as the vcr can be connected to the coverter box, it can record it's signal

You just Hook the Video and Adio cables coming from the Astak reciever to the RCA INPUT on the back (or Front sometimes) of your VCR turn camera and reciever on (make sure same channel) and use you VCR to record

No. It doesn't have a tuner built in so you would need to have a tuner, cable, or satellite box to record a program on this.

you should be able to do that. My mother's tv is straight cable,no vcr or cable box.

I dont' know if you have received an answer...IF you use a cable box....run cable from box thru VCR then to TV. then you can record and watch at the same time. IF you have a new TV.....it is getting harder and harder to record shows...I can only record from my cable box OR an older analog TV. It is only a matter of time before we wont' be able to record a TV show...big box stores no longer carry DVD recorders....I suspect mixing the signal to prevent recording is in our future. Good luck

If you have a cable box from Timer Warner, you should be fine. The cable box will act as your tuner. You only need a tuner in your vcr if you DONT have a cable box.

Sure, not a problem. Just run cables from the video, left and right audio outputs on the back of your VCR to their respective inputs on the DVD Recorder.

One unfortunate drawback of this recorder is its lack of a tuner. If you get your television programs using cable or a satellite, this is not a problem. However, if you get your programming over the air using an antenna or your television's internal tuner, then you are not able to record directly from your television.

I would say yes. Run your coax from the antenna through the box then the vcr then the tv, that should take care of it. But remember you are at the mersey of the box. You can only record the channel the box is tuned to. You can't record one and watch another.

I don't know if it will work on a digital TV. You can record from TV to the VCR.

What about video tapes? If I attach a VCR, can I transfer my old VHS recordings onto a DVD using this DVR Recorder?

To all, It depends on which service you subscribe to. If you subscribe to AT&T U-Verse, the answer is "NO", U-Verse injects a copyright signal into the broadcast and you VCR believes you are trying to pirate their broadcast. If you have Comcast/Xfinity, then you should be good to go. Hope this helps.

I don't believe you can. I had 2 of these VCR"s and they never worked properly. They always ate the tapes and sounded watery. I ended up buying a Toshiba and haven't had a problem in years, but it does not record video to DVD. That feature would be in a model costing a few hundred dollars.

I believe that you can record on either the VCR or the DVD, but having said this please note that I returned this device because it did not work as expected.

Yes you can record and watch another station at the same time. Your manual should tell you to select channel 3or 4 on your tv and then set your VCR to record after programming. Then switch your station to whatever you want. If your going throgh a Direct TV box you have to make sure your cables are on the in and out part correctly. I hope this helps.

The VCR needs to be hooked into the basic cable box if you have no box and your cable is direct into the back of the TV then you need to have the DVD/VCR plugged into the back of your TV (usually the cords are color coded red to red white to white, ect.) and it will say video out and video in on the VCR player recorder. Then you should be able to just push record for the show you want recorded. I hope this has helped you.
