In Reply to: RE: Can I use a DVD Recorder as a SET-TOP Box? posted by Cut-Throat on August 13, 2007 at 08:21:53:

....I am in Australia so I don’t know if it is the same there.

Over here a digital hard-drive recorder (with in-built digital tuner - “PVR”) can only record from FREE OVER THE AIR TV channels. If you wish to record Satellite/Cable pay-TV you need a DVD-hard-drive recorder.

I use DVD-hard-drive recorders here as they can record everything. Of course, I then need separate set-top boxes.

I hope this helps – I mention because I know people here who buy a PVR only to find out they can not record satellite/cable TV

Good luck.
