Recording DVDs from Tivo box

[billstoughton]

I recently purchased a DVD recorder (Go Video) with the intention of transfering movies from my DIRECTV Tivo box (Hughes) to a DVD. Installation instructions are geared towards hooking the DVD recorder to a TV, but not another video source.

Question is, is it possible? One minor wrinkle is that my TiVo box is connected to the television with the older RCA type connectors (my S video plug is hosed on the TV).

I tried running the satellite signal out of the TiVO receiver, into the Go Video machine, and then to my TV. Didn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

If your tivo has a svideo out, and your dvd recorder has a svideo in, hook um up, even if the svideo is b.o.(bad order) on your tv use the rca outs (composite)on your dvd recorder to tv to check what you are recording.
