Yes and no. It all depends on how flexible the remote you get is with regards to macros.

You would need one with variables to do it reliably.

You could easily put FF(sat) & Pause(dvd) together, along with PLAY(sat) & REC(dvd).
The problem would be every time you hit PLAY on the Sat box it would also sened the RECORD command to the DVD.
If your DVD recorder will unpause the recording by pushing Pause again, then this would work fine.
