No, and I don't think I confused DVDs and DVRs before, either. The Digital Video Recorder I have is from DishNetwork, that I subscribed to for a couple of years, but now that I don't pay for their signal I can't use the device to record anything else, though I can watch anything that is already recorded on it. That one doesn't burn DVDs, it just saves digital video files on a hard drive to play back. I can record off of it by patching to the computer or VCR, but the quality isn't great for a DVD.

There are Digital Video Recorders that also burn DVDs like a VCR will record to a video cassette tape. I think some have TIVO, but I don't know if it is necessary or if you can simply set it up to record over the air broadcasts by programming it like the old VCR. I'm not sure if they initially record to a hard drive and then you tell it to burn to the disk after editing--that's part of what I want to check out (get rid of commercials from some programs, etc.)

The morning and early afternoon were tied up with checkups and driving. I've been kind of slow around here this afternoon, but I'll take the dogs for a walk and get moving for the evening.
