Recording cable TV programs
What is the most cost effective equipment for recording cable TV programs for later viewing? I use to record cable TV on my VCR with a tuner but want to upgrade to a hard drive for recording.

When my cable still included analog, I used a DVD recorder with a built in cable tuner. To DVD-R for keeps, to DVD-RW for time shifting. Bought 5 DVD-RW discs, never used more than two. I think the last pavkage of DVD-R I bought came to about 12 cents a disc.
In the age of digital-only cable, and recording HD to watch HD, the DVR from the cable. company works for me. Rent is $10 a month, vs $5 for their digital tuner that does not record, or for use of a decoding card for a card-ready TV.
