Since TIVO will not be recording HDTV in the foreseable future, does anyone know if there is a way to record HDTV onto DVD? My thought is to run to DTV receivers and keep my TIVO for regular programming and have the DVD Recorder for recording HD broadcasts. I heard something about a D-VHS and firewire, but would prefer the DVD route to D-VHS. Is this possible?

no....not possible...
jvc has the only D-Vhs that I know of...but it has a firewire hookup...
Last I heard is that the film-entertainment industry does not want you to record HDTV...
those greedy bastards...
Dish had a demo of a maybe future DVR for HDTV last year at the CES show...
anyhow...thats what I know...

Mitsubishi, and damn one other company that I can't think of right now has DVHS players. The standard for DVHS is firewire, thats the only way you can get the signal for recording.

The only DVD recorder available is video. Component video, so it's good video. But still video. HD simply takes too much 'space' no matter how you slice it.
A good HD VHS deck is going to cost you a healthy chunk of dough too.

DVD recorders are simply incapable of recording at the speeds needed to store HD material on the disc right now. DVD's themselves wouldn't make a good storage medium either. DVHS tapes can hold like 50 gigs of data, while DVD's are limited to around 9, at the most, I think. I'm waiting for a standardized connection method before I start recording in HD.

The ONLY way you can record HD now is through a D-VHS which has firewire, like Mitsuibshi's models and the JVC HM-DH30000U.
You then need a HD receiver that has firewire too, like the Samsung 165. There is a group that modifies the RCA DTC-100 HD (Direct TV) receiver and add firewire to it.
NO, you cannot record HD int recordable DVD's. Heck, pre-recorded HD DVD is still too far down the road!Much mmore a recordadle version.

I may be wrong but I think that there is a dish network PVR that can record HD. Having seen the JVC DVHS I must say I was both surprised and impressed.

You could use a HTPC with a HDTV tuner in it, they run you like 300 to 400 bucks, then you can record on your hard drive. annoying to hook everything up, but it'll work

It's my understanding that JVC is going to come out with an HDTV capable DISH network receiver that will include a built-in DVHS deck. Although I have no idea when the said product would arive to the retail marketplace.

Oh my... the JVC/Dish DVHS has been out for quite some time, I installed on over a year and a half a go. It may even be discontinued already.

Well, actually, JVC may be coming out with a NEW DVHS/Dish model. The old one just recorded the Dish bitstream directly, like the Dish PVR does now (I think). The new one (foolishly named exactly the same way--DVHS) would be a combination of JVC's DVHS HDTV recorder and record HDTV.
