I have a Panisonic DVD-R, DVD-RAM burner (one for my Entertainment system - not computer). If you have ever seen the Panisonic commercials where you hit play on your (whatever you are recording from) and hit record on the DVD Burner - it is just that simple. It records/burns as you are watching. When you hit stop, it stops and you are ready to play.

Think of it like a VCR. It has inputs for 3 video sources via RCA cables and a Antenna-In Antenna-Out for recording from your cable system. However, chances are very good that you will not be able to copy DVD Movies as they are generally blocked at the source of the DVD player (Unless you have an older APEX that did not have the blocker on the DVD Player then you can record away). But even if you could record DVDs it only records in stereo so if you have 5.1 surround sound system, the DVD burner renders it useless on burnt DVDs.

I like the DVD-RAM part because they are just like blank VCR tapes. You can record up to 1000 times on the disk without losing quality. The only problem is DVD-RAM can only be played on other DVD-RAM compatible players. But if you are just recording <insert favorite show here> it is great. I also has VCR+ and timer record just like a VCR too so you can record when you are not at home.
