There's DVD recorders, although they're newer can you can get one with

Yes, I saw a DVD/VCR combination recorder with a Digital Tuner in one
store. The price was enough to make me fall to the floor and I came
close to having to call 911 for oxygen treatments.
I initially had gone there to inquire if they sold the convertor
boxes. They did not have them, but the salesman was quick to show me
this overpriced thing.
I still wonder why anyone would want to record a DVD rather than a
tape. Tapes can be erased and used over and over. As far as I know,
these DVD recorders are for only one time use (unlike the computer
ones). Maybe that will change in the future, but for now, just
recording a tv show to watch later could get costly for one time use
per disk.
The one I bought from Sams for $120 will record DVD RWs
Hmmm,
Also there is DVD-RAM.
DVD-RAM is a different format, that is incompatible with most players.
Hi,
My recorder records/plays DVD+/-R, RW, RAM.
And I said MOST. Obviously, you have one of the exceptions. Your
DVD-RAM should work fine in your recorder, but will have limited
playability elsewhere. DVD-R(W) and DVD+R(W) discs can be played in
almost all players.
