How to Record Vudu on an LG TV

You need a set-top DVD burner in order to record movies that you buy or rent from the Vudu service available on your LG TV. A set-top DVD burner is different from a computer's DVD burner, as it has the graphics card capable of taking an input signal from an external device and converting it into a format that it can burn to a disc.

Things You'll Need

• Set-top DVD burner
• DVD-R disc

Instructions

1. Connect the RCA cables from the back of your LG TV to the back of the set-top DVD recorder unit. The cables should plug in from the RCA output of the TV to the RCA input ports of the DVD burner. Also, plug in the power cord into the electrical outlet.

2. Power on both the LG TV and set-top DVD burner. Go to the Vudu app on your TV and find the the movie you wish to play and record.

3. Insert a new DVD-R disc into the tray of the DVD burner. Close the tray.

4. Press the "Record" button on the DVD burner, then, on the TV, press the "Play" button on the Vudu movie. The movie should immediately start recording to DVD, but you still have to finalize it.

5. Press the "Stop" button on the DVD burner when the movie is finished recording. It may take several minutes for the burner to finalize the disc.

Tips & Warnings

• You must play the entire movie from start to finish on the Vudu service to get the whole movie burned to DVD.
