Is it possible to connect the tv output of another receiver to a DVR antenna in and record it? I figure it would not work by connect it right up in that way but maybe there is a device that would make this possible?
RF output on Dish receivers is NTSC.
Antenna in on ViP receivers is ATSC.
Not compatible.
The 625 or any other dish SD receiver does not have any kind of tuner, analog or otherwise.
The 942 does have an analog tuner but no encoding hardware, you can't record when tuned to an analog channel.
Dish DVRs only record the digital satellite or ATSC stream.
Pepper,
I am pretty sure I have recorded analog signal with my 942. It's been a couple of years since I had it active though. It might be a good experiment to try this weekend as I don't have too much going on.
