Archiving Tivo / DVR to DVD

Soon I will be getting a stand-alone DVD player/recorder.

Coincidentally, my Tivo just crapped out and I'm faced with a choice between another Tivo unit and my cable company's DVR.

My question: Which of these two choices, if any, allow archiving of recorded television programs to DVD using the DVD recorder?

Also, how straightforward is the process?

Thanks,

Jon

All DVR's will connect to a DVD recorder and allow archiving unless the program content is protected by Macrovision which is very unlikely.

Connect the DVR to the DVD recorder with S-video and analog audio. Play the program and hit record on the DVD recorder. Tivo will give you an addition option of sending the program to your PC over your home's computer network and allowing you to burn it on a computer DVD recorder.
