Sure ....

The typical setup to record from your DIRECTV Receiver/DVR to a VCR or DVD recorder is:

* DIRECTV Receiver/DVR Audio/Video Output -> matching TV A/V Input (e.g. INPUT1)

* DirecTV Receiver/DVR A/V Output -> matching DVD/VCR Recorder A/V Input

* DVD/VCR Recorder A/V Output -> matching TV A/V Input (e.g. INPUT2)

Use the TV's Input/Source Selector Function to switch between the DIRECTV receiver and VCR/DVD Recorder. To record on the DVD/VCR Recorder, select the DirecTV Receiver/DVR Input on the recorder, set the DirecTV Receiver/DVR to the channel to record (or play a recording to copy on a DVR), and start recording on your DVD/VCR Recorder.

I would be as well, if I had any expectation of an implementation of the TiVO UI (which would probably also require the TiVo engine, as well).

Personally I have no want for the TiVo engine. Had it on my 2 DirecTiVos. I'm perfectly happy with the HRxx interface.
