I've searched this forum & haven't found the answer. How can you burn shows from the R10 units onto DVDs? Manual only talks about recording to VCR. Can I do this, how do I do this, and is there a particular external DVD burner that I need to purchase to do this. I would prefer to burn directly from receiver & not have to use my desktop/laptop. Please advise...

dshinnick has pointed out the best way to do it 
Most DVD recorders have audio video and S-Video inputs. You can use either, but S-Video, of course, gives a better picture.
The benefit of using the "record to vcr" setting is that it makes it harder to mess up the transfer by inadvertantly pushing a button. You have to push the button twice to stop the recording.
Other than that, just playing the recording works fine.

"Save to VCR" also gives a few second description at the beginning of the recording.
I've also done the just play the show, then just before the show actually starts (after the first commercial) I press pause at a black screen. Then display the normal description screen, press record on DVD recorder for a few seconds to record the description screen and then press play on the TiVo. Then keep your fingers off the remote until the show has completed.

Sorry for maybe a dumb question, but how are you hooking your recorder up to the receiver? Do you have to have a DVD recorder with A/V inputs since the USB port is not active on the R10 receivers?JimSpence said:"Save to VCR" also gives a few second description at the beginning of the recording.

re. audio ports - see my post above.
All standalone DVD recorders have composite video and/or S-video inputs. Here's a typical example Liteon DVD recorder
