Transferring DVR Recordings to DVD Atlanta GA

1. Connect your DVD recorder to your TiVo or DVR. If you have a DVD recorder (or burner), you can hook it up directly to your DVR and create DVDs of your recorded shows and movies. You can connect your DVR, DVD recorder and TV together using RCA composite cables (the red, yellow and white cable), S-Video cables or the traditional coaxial cable. Coaxial cables produce the lowest quality picture, so opt for RCA cables or an RCA/S-Video cable combination if possible. Whichever cables you are using, the setup will be similar:
   
   
   • Connect the coaxial cable from the wall to the input on your DVR (cable box).
   • Connect your S-Video and/or RCA cable (or coaxial cable) to the output on your DVR (cable box) and then to the input on your DVD recorder.
   • Connect another set of S-Video and/or RCA cables (or coaxial cables) to the output on your DVD recorder and then to the input on your TV.
   
   From here your cable television should be passing through your DVD recorder, which should allow you to record shows and movies to DVD as you are watching them, or after you've saved them to your DVR. The process of recording a television show or movie to DVD will differ slightly with different DVD recorders, but with many it's as simple as hitting the record button or setting it up to record like you would on a VCR. In some cases you may need to play the shows from your DVR in order to record them to DVD. In other cases you can simply hit the "record to VCR" feature on your DVR and your DVD recorder should do the rest.
   
   Before you buy a DVD recorder, make sure that you find one that will give you a clear picture on your final DVD-some DVD recorders produce higher quality DVDs than others. If your DVD isn't playing on other DVD players, you may have forgotten to finalize your DVD before removing it from the DVD recorder. If you have a quality DVD recorder, are finalizing all your DVDs and are still getting a scrambled picture, remember that Live TV, Pay-Per-View and some other specialty channels may be protected.
   
   Note: You may be able to use Dimax to filter some of these programs if you're so inclined....
