Yes, you can use the Magnavox ZC352MW8 DVD Recorder with a digital tuner to record live TV, but there are a few things to consider:
Requirements & Setup:
- Digital Tuner – This model has a built-in ATSC digital tuner, which means it can receive over-the-air (OTA) digital TV signals using an antenna.
- TV Source – If you have cable or satellite TV, you may need to connect a cable box and use the Line-In (RCA or RF coaxial input) for recording.
- Recording Process:
- Connect an antenna or cable box to the DVD recorder.
- Select the correct input source (e.g., TV tuner or AV input if using a cable box).
- Insert a blank DVD-R or DVD-RW disc.
- Schedule or manually start the recording when the live program begins.
- You cannot record encrypted cable/satellite channels without using a set-top box.
- It does not support HD recording—it records in standard definition (SD) only.
- Some TV providers no longer support analog signals, so make sure your setup is compatible.
