Question: Can a DVD Recorder With No RF Input Record Off A Cable Directly From The Wall?
Answer: No. In order to record a TV program on a "tunerless" DVD recorder (a DVD recorder with no RF input) using an RF cable source, there must be an external tuner (such as a DTV converter box, cable, or satellite box - depending on what the signal source is for the RF cable coming from the wall) connected between the RF Cable coming from the wall and the AV inputs of the "tunerless" DVD recorder.
The setup would be done in the following manner: Connect the RF cable coming from the wall to the RF input on the external tuner, and then connect the AV outputs (red, white, yellow) of the external tuner, cable, or satellite box, to the corresponding AV inputs on the "tunerless" DVD recorder. To record a TV program, follow the specific directions outlined in your DVD recorder's user manual.
