Sony LCD and tunerless dvd recorder?

[dragon53]

I have a Sony LCD KDL-46Z5100 tv which is connected only to a rabbit ears antenna with no cable or satellite connections.
Question: Can I record tv programs I'm watching with the following tunerless dvd recorder?

Output Ports (2.0)
The KDL-46Z5100 has a digital audio out port and an S-Video port.

Nope.
Your TV doesn't have a video output, to connect to your recorder.
You probably could just grab a cheap digital converter box off eBay & use it as a tuner for your DVD recorder.

Another idea, would be to get a Magnavox DVD recorder( MDR515H/F7 or MDR513H/F7 ).

Can record on its internal 500GB hard drive.
Has all the tuners you'll need built in( NTSC/ATSC/QAM ).
ETC...

Thanks very much for the info. I looks like I'll be getting a dvd recorder with a built-in tuner.
