| [TWC] Question about TWC cable box hookup with DVR
Hello all,
I am interested in purchasing a Philips DVDR3575H/37 DVR to record television shows. Currently I have digital cable through Time Warner cable with a Scientific Atlanta cable box. My question is, if I do buy this DVR how do I hook it up so I can record television shows? Does the cable box have to already be on the channel I want to record off of? I know there is a feature to record shows if you go into the TV Guide on the cable box, so if I use this feature will it record right to my DVR? Thanks for the help! |

| depending on the options of the DVR you will most likely have to have the cable box on the channel to record. In easy terms it will be a Daisy Chain hookup. the only way around having the dvr record while the STB is off would be to use a splitter and feed the DVR multiple ways. "Which I Do Now".

You should be able to put your cable card in the Phillips DVR and it should (theoretically) work like your Sci-Atl box did, but maybe better. |

The DVR model he's interested in only has a ATSC tuner, not a QAM tuner or CableCARD slot:
