My sister bought me a Phillips DVD recorder last Christmas and the thing is still not hooked up!

I have a cable box like Tivo and I can't figure out the propper connections to save my life.

I have it hooked up and it will play DVD's and even show that it is successfully recording TV sows, however when the I try and play the DVD-R it is blank.

Is there a good guide or suggestion you know of?

Thanks!

I'm not sure I unsterstand completely:

Ok, what is an aerial cable and where can I get it?

All I have are the RCA cables that came with it.

The way it hooks up is quite easy and I can play DVD's on it. Everything works besides the recorder itself!

I'll try to follow your instructions but they're a bit sketchy. Is there a simple DVD recorder to Cable box guide you know of?

Thank you for the time to answer anyways!
