It has two usbs for power and access so hooking to a TV direct will not work.

This will work as a recording device for any TV. However, you will need to use an external hard drive that connects using USB or a USB flash drive.

Yes. It has 2 USB ports, one for external hard drive (to be used as a DVR), and one for a Dish wireless adapter.

Hi Mad, normally you can't do that directly on the TV. You can record from your Cable Box. -Vincent

if you put a hard drive in yes it will record directly to the dvr unit just remember you need the 3.5 hard drive say for a laptop not a full size drive

USB ports on TV's are generally for input. So, as stated by Manalo - No, it likely will NOT work.

It would work as a recorder, since it would connect to the TV just fine. It should work as well as it did on the component plugs going directly into the TV. The USB power is what powers the unit. It runs off the TV (if you have an USB connector there - that's what we did). It won't work without being powered by the USB connection. You can buy an adaptor that goes from the USB connection to a plug that can be plugged in, but you will need something to power it.

You do need to have a usb port on your tv. If you don't, I'm not sure if there is a work around. Paula

Yes, it appears as a USB sound device, just select that as the input in your recording software.

Yes, provided that your TV is an HDTV. See the review "How to record PC streaming video on an HDD/DVD recorder".

no because usb does not function that way. this is to put audio / video on your computer from a device that is limited to rca hook ups, not to transmit in this format

No, You can record directly from your cable TV, however the unit will only record digital broadcast channels.

You can plug it in to a DVR but recording will show nothing but "static". The operating systems are completely different in the 2 devices. However, if you connect this to a TV and then connect the DVR to the TV, you can record video.

Yes, you can. However, I have been having problems the usb port in seems to be recording when is not recording.

If you can connect to the output rca port of your tv tuner. Since the dvd recorder does not have a tuner it cannot record directly.
