How to Burn HDTV DVDs off of a DVR
Having a DVR gives you a digital solution to recording all of your favorite TV shows and movies in high definition. One of the reasons why the DVR has replaced the VCR is because of the ease of use that a DVR offers. Another reason is because of the quality that the DVR offers. If you want to back up all of your favorite shows and movies in order to free up some of the hard drive space on your DVR, your best bet is to do it through DVD. DVD has the ability to save your HD shows and movies in a way that VCRs can't.
