Not only is it possible to record programs off of a cable DVR onto a DVD, but there is more than one way to go about accomplishing the task. Recordings made using a DVR are saved onto a hard disk located inside of the DVR unit. There is limited recording space on this hard disk. Once enough space is used up, some DVR recordings have to be erased to make room for new recordings. Copying the DVR recordings onto a DVD is one way to permanently preserve these digital recordings.
