Comcast cable box and vcr hook up.

Does a cable company-provided DVR box allow you to transfer recorded programs to your VCR?

  • I do not have digital cable or DVR but might be forced to get it considering that Comcast has just excised ten channels from basic service. One thing they offer with digital cable is a DVR box for an extra charge. In looking at images of a DVR box, it has composite red/yellow/white jacks on the front. Are these jacks input or output jacks? If they are output, is it possible to hook up a VCR and record programs from the DVR onto a VCR in the event you want to keep that program and not store it on your DVR? Thanks for your help.

  • Answer:

    Those are input jacks. Look on the back of the dvr and see if there's an L1 out. If there is, connect your audio/video cable from there to your vhs input ports. I never tried recording at the same time. I would record to dvr and then transfer to vhs later.

Some products are copy protected so you can't copy them outside of the DVR, but for the rest, yes you can copy them to a VCR, although I am not sure why you would want to do so - at least copy to a DVD recorder!
