Recording to VCR

Can you record multiple programs to a VCR at one time?

If you have three half-hour programs you want to put on tape do you have to do
them one at a time or is there a way to do it all at once?

What if you want to record just the last ten minutes of a progam, can you do
that as well?

Thanks,

CC

No

One at a time. Do you mean you want the TiVo to output to 3 different VCRs
all at once, or that you want to set up a "batch" export?

Either way, the answer is the same.

Sure. Just don't hit "record" on the VCR until the part you want is
showing on the TiVo...

Yeah this is one of the most annoying things the Tivo can't do (not the
10 minutes thing). The thing where it wont spit out a bunch of programs
in a row. But hey you can't win em all

You mean you've never tried it?

1) Start playing a program, fast-forward to correct spot.
2) Hit left-arrow to go back to the Now Playing detail screen.
3) Notice that one of the options is "Resume playing".
4) Select "Save to VCR".
5) Notice that the second option is "Save from the paused location".

Actually I haven't even set up my VCR yet. TIVO is so easy to use, that I just
haven't got around to it yet. Is it a straight forward setup? Do you only
need one cable? I have DirectTV with 2 tuners.

Thanks to all for the responses.

Look in your User's Manual for the section marked "Adding a VCR".
