Thread: Which brand/model DVD/DVR recorder can completely replicate the VCR programming...

...feature with HD/DTV channels? What brand/model DVD or DVR recorder can record many shows from many channels using either a HD/DTV tuner or connected to HDTV - using just my HDTV antennae (I do not pay for TV)?

I want to record my TV shows just like I did with my VCR, exactly, no changes. Meaning, with my VCR I could program it to record my shows from many channels, any day of the week, at any time. I'm finding, to my horror, that many DVR or VCR/DVD combo recorders have serious issues with being to *completely* replicate the VCR programming features. Especially watching and recording or recording shows from different channels on the same day. Which brand/model DVD/DVR recorder can completely replicate the VCR programming features with HD/DTV channels?

I do not want pay for TiVO. I want a machine like DVD/ recorders with HD tuners, but which brand/ model will allow me to have the VCR programming features (recording many shows from mnay channels on the same day)?

Look into an echostar DTV Pal DVR.

A DVD recorder with an ATSC tuner built in should work if you minimally record.

It's called Tvo
