If you have a DirectTV digital video recorder, you probably already use it to record episodes of your favorite TV shows and may even use it occasionally to record home movies from a DVD or VHS tape. However, many DirectTV DVRs allow you to record or stream to your TV the display from just about any device capable of playing video - as long as the device has a compatible video-out port. Consequently, if you have a digital camera or camcorder with an RCA or USB video-out port, you can connect the device to the DVR and record images or video from the camera or display them on your TV.
