| What are you recording? | TV type | Suggested setup after 17-Feb-2009 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| TV straight from the wall | - Digital TV with a built-in digital (HD) tuner |
The US government offers $40 coupons to households for the purchase of an HD tuner to ease the digital conversion. Request yours today. |
While your television has a tuner, you can use it as either input to your OSD or output from your OSD, not both. We recommend you use another TV as output from your OSD, or use an HD tuner or DVD player with built-in tuner. |
| TV straight from the wall | - Analog TV - Digital/HD TV with no built-in digital (HD) tuner |

| DVD player used as a tuner | Any |
If your DVD player has a digital tuner, you are all set. If not, you will need a DVD player with a digital tuner or an HD digital receiver. |

No VHS players that we have found will allow you to tune into digital signals. |
