I have flat screen TVs, but they don't have digital outputs. They don't even have analog video signal outputs. They have stereo audio signal outputs to drive an A/V receiver, but I couldn't even record a tape from any of my flat screen TVs.

I thought DVRs were getting to be an endangered species. Do any have built-in digital tuners?

it was very wrong of me to just assume that everyone had a means to record any program that was on the tv. My apologies.

I could record stuff.

I watch TV over the air, not via cable, satellite, or the Netflix/Hulu/Roku method.

I know there are tuner dongles that I can use with a computer. I was hoping to limit the complexity of the process. Back in the VCR days, it was easy to record off the air.
