Charter Cable DVR Question

[mustvid]

I can get a a DVR from Charter Cable. It has S video out, Digital audio out and RCA audio/vidio outs. The instruction shows how to hook up a VCR.

Can I use a DVD Recorder instead of a VCR?
Any technical problems I might experience like interlacing problems?
Will the recording be as good as the original?
Which DVD recorder should I use?

I'm a newbie on this page and need some guidance from the experts. This seems like a cheaper option then buying a DVD recorder with a hard drive. I want to make a couple of copies of football games I record. Any advice will be appreciated.

1) Can I use a DVD Recorder instead of a VCR?

2) Any technical problems I might experience like interlacing problems?

3) Will the recording be as good as the original?

4) Which DVD recorder should I use?

1) Certainly.

2) You may encounter Macrovision, but then you'd have the same problem with a VCR.

3) It depends on a number of factors (for example: recording quality selected, your eyes, etc).

4) Can't help you there, but I'm sure someone will shortly. In the meantime, you can read the current/previous discussions to get an idea of what people are using.

Btw, welcome to the forum!
