    Hehehehe. You won't be "recording off the digital TV" -- you'll be recording the signal that comes through your cable line, or satellite receiver, or TV antenna on your roof. Your "digital TV" will only be "showing" you what you're playing through it.

    Bottom line, your "TV" has nothing to do with whatever kind of blank DVD you might record onto.

    I wrote up a pretty clear little primer on some of this stuff here:

    I hope that'll help you understand some of this technology -- good luck!
