Does a DVD recorder need a digital tuner to receive content from a cable company box?

I think that I may know the answer to this question already but just want to make sure.......

I have a DVR box from my cable company. I have content saved there and I would like to feed that content into my DVD recorder. I hooked up all the cables appropriately but the receiving DVD recorder cannot see any image coming in nor does it detect any sound. I tried the S-video cable and I also tried RCA cables. Neither worked.

The DVD recorder unit has an old analog tuner but it does not have a digital tuner. Is that the source of my problem?

Thanks,

TC

you need to set the input on the dvd recorder to the right input

mine has analog tuner and it works just fine with my dvr

Thanks for the tip.

So how do I adjust the correct input? Is that something in the basic menu screen?

there might be a input button on the remote other then that you have to look at the Manuel sins i don't know what kind of recorder you have

on mine you just press 0 twice then 1 for back 2 for front inputs that's on mine tho
