Any ideas if there are any DVD-Recorders that are compatible with Tivo?
I really don't want to dump stuff to VHS because we never use it.

Thanks,
MSIMM

I also use the Philips 985 and it works fine.

This question has been asked a lot lately...

It's no wonder! With all the copyright spew going on these days, I can understand someone thinking that way. I mean, some feel that if you walk outside with a copy of your favorite show in your hand, even if you're just going to grandma's, you've just broken the law...

Just to clarify - from the point of view of a TiVo box, a DVD recorder is no different from a VCR - it's just some device that accepts video/audio input. The TiVo has no idea what's on the other end of the wire.

And like a VCR, if you've recorded some content on a TiVo that had Macrovision copy-protection, the DVD will either fail to record or the result may be unwatchable. The only way I can think of for this to happen is if you copied a commercial DVD or VHS tape to the TiVo first.

And for some odd reason, using the analog output to make a DVD from a TiVo recorded show is fine and dandy, but figuring out how to output the show in digital format to make a DVD is strictly forbidden.
