apologies if this is a stupid question but i've looked around and not found an answer ...

if i get a dvd recorder to replace our dvd player/vcr combo , can i still use the Save to VCR function to save stuff to the dvd recorder?

thanks

Simply yes. Save to VCR just plays the programme with a description slate, and a few less playback functions. It does not matter what the video recorder happens to be.

But get one with 2 x Scarts offering RGB In/Out Passthru so you can put it between Tivo TV out scart and your TV.

That way it will record from a RGB source rather than composite video which is all the VCR scart on Tivo gives out.

If you feel like opening up your Tivo and adding a cachecard, you will be able to archive to DVD via your PC much more quickly although we aren't allowed to discuss that here.
