copy to dvd?

[Katz]

Hi! I read some posts that refer to the ability to copy programing that has been recorded on an HR20 to a dvd. Can someone tell me if this is possible, and how it is done? Thanks!

At this time, I don't think there is anything to allow copying of recorded programs to DVD. What you can do is run the output of the HR20 to the input of a DVD burner and do a real time recording.

I record a show/movie to my HR20-700. Than at a later time when I watch it, at the same time I burn it to a DVD. I do believe all outputs are live on the HR20 at the same time, so there are several ways to get a very good quality copy. I even burn High Def shows to my non High Def DVD burner and am very pleased. My Tivo's even have a option to do this. If I recall correctly I have seen a few PPV's that will not allow you to record to the receiver, just view it.

You can record from the analog output. DVD recorders have S-video and/or composite inputs which can be used. I have probably 50 DVDs I recorded this way.

There are newer DVD recorders that use the HDMI connection, and outputs at 1080I.

HDMI inputs? Does HDCP get in the way?

How did that add get in my message?
