Well... what's stopping you from keeping the DVD player as a TV Tuner and using the Blu-ray player for movies?

Is your DVD player a DVD recorder? As fas as I know they don't have a standalone Blu-ray recorder, maybe in a couple of years. Or maybe you can post under the media and software links and someone like Dadkins can get you running a HTPC to do what you want.

yes it is a dvd recorder and I just might have to keep it for the tuner part, I was hoping that there was a blu-ray that would do it.

If you have money burning a hole in your pocket you might want to buy the Philips HDD DVR at Wal-Mart for about $250. It has a full digital tuner and can record to hard disk or to DVD in a HD format. I use OTA transmission and feel the reception is better than my TV tuner. Then in a couple of years once they work out the kinks of a standalone Blu-ray recorder you will be able to get what you want. However the Home Theater PC was probably made for you if you have that kind of money.
