Recording cable channels
We will be staying in a Florida campground this winter that furnishes cable. My question is how do you record the cable channels? What device do you use?

I have a Motorola recorder that records to an internal hard disk. I believe that it is the only one on the market. All the rest come from a signal provider or Tivo. It is available only at Walmart for about $200. One must disable all automatic functions of the clock because when it expects to get a signal from PBS, that they no longer send, it crashes.
It works very well and has a QAM tuner and finds all my non encrypted cable channels; at this point that is all of them. I suspect that it will not work for me in fall because Charter is switching to all digital and also encrypting all the channels. They told me that the feds required them to encrypt the signals but I think the real reason is to make me rent a DVR from them.
