I have the Toshiba Combo DVD Recorder/ VCR, and the Phillips DVR from Direct TV. I have tried unplugging the phone line from the Direct TV DVR (Tivo) while recording thinking that there may be a phone line conflict of some sort, but this also did not solve the issue. I have tried this with DVD-R and DVD Ram discs and they still do not work. As far as I know there is no copyright on this program, or else the DVD Recorder would display a message. The DVD in the DVD recorder sometimes has not recorded the program I have requested, and sometimes it does, but only part of it. The only way to fix this is to unplug (off button does not work while system is frozen) the DVD Recorder and then the Tivo program resumes playing again. I get part way through and the whole thing freezes up on me. In my experience over the last couple of days, I have not been able to finish a recording from a program that had been stored on the Tivo DVR. In theory, we should be able to use the record to VCR function on the Direct TV DVR menu, and have it go to a DVD Recorder.
