Disclaimer: I'm still at the analog/coax cable stage here as well.This seems like it would get me full HD to to TV, but somehow I'm thinking that I'm missing something regarding being able to record stuff to the DVD/VCR. Maybe I just have to always record to the cable DVR, then only archive from the DVR to the DVD/VCR?
That sounds about right. From the information you've provided, your best recording will be on the cable DVR, then archive the stuff you want to keep to the DVD-R. Maybe set up in this sequence
Cable/DVR ==1==> HDTV ==2==> DVD-R
Connection 1 being HDMI
Connection 2 being S video
Or perhaps set the DVD-R up to branch off the Cable/DVR using component connectors, with a small composite TV as a monitor for archiving, the feed the signal back into the HDTV for later viewing.
