I made a plea for help on 9-14-05 and no one came to my aid. The forum don't like to talk about stand alone dvd recorders. I wanted to know if their was a way to get it recognize digital cable. The only way I know is to watch the program being recorded. Is their some device to use in conjunction with cable box which reads digital sidnals? :round:

According to what I'm reading right now it says your dvd recorder needs to have a cable box interface. Here is the link to the page.
