i have digital cable with mediacom and when watch a show if i press info on the remote i see a record icon when i press it asks me if i want to record this program i thought you could only record a program with a dvr can someone help me
Sometimes it asks that because you can hook up the VCR to it and it controls the VCR settings.
AJ is correct. Many set-top boxes have IR blasters that can send remote-control commands to your VCR or PVR to automatically start recording. You need to pre-configure it of course and it needs to support your VCR model.
