Recording Digital Channels OTA

[shavde]

I am not able to record OTA HD channels on my VCR. I get the sound, but no picture. The analog stations records just fine.

Any ideas?

Is your VCR or DVD recorder capable of recording digital video?

You'll need an HD receiver with composite (RCA) outputs. I get OTA HD channels feeding through my DirecTV HR20 PVR. That PVR has HDMI, Component, Svideo, and composite outputs. The Svideo and composite outputs carry a downconverted video signal your VCR will record.

What is your HD source?

Do you have an ATSC tuner?

How is the system wired?
