How Can I Record TV
« on: July 07, 2017, 01:50:28 pm »

Since changing over to Digital age we can no long record shows on our VCR and play them

back at a later time. We purchased a Toshiba DVD player/recorder and our kids gave us a

nice 40" TV for Christmas. Apparently you can no longer record television shows without a  สมัครแทงมวยออนไลน์

cable box. I called Time Warner and they want us to pay $30 a month for another box for

what we used to get for free. My husband is 90 this year and many shows he might enjoy are  แทงมวยออนไลน์

in the mornings, when we are out having our coffee, afternoons when we do our grocery

shopping, or after he goes to bed in the evening. To top it all off, he has severe arthritis; and,

until he has his cataract surgery, he has to stand up to the television in order to see. Before I

go ahead and post pictures of the three boxes we have hooked up, is it at all possible to do

this without paying TW the $30 (which we won't do). Thanks in advance, Lucie

Welcome to the forum.  You could start by reading this:

Here is a network TV tuner that would probably work:

What part of the world do you live in?  Free digital over the air TV is possible in metropolitan areas of the US and some other countries.

You need to be somewhat computer savvy - to set up the software/computer and get TV recording working.

Do you intend to keep the cable service, or do you want to switch to recording only over-the-air TV (using a standard TV antenna)? If your going to be recording cable broadcasts it gets tricky due to cable companies scrambling their signals and "copy once" programming (which JRiver can't display).

If your thinking of switching to over-the-air broadcasts only, it is a lot easier.

Here is a good article on "cord cutting". http://www.avsforum.com/celebrate-cut-cord-day-get-live-tv-online/
