The most awesome way that I know of to record off the air is with a
Video Cassette Recorder (hi-fi, stereo). The drill is that you leave
your radio tuner on and use the VCR's timer to switch on the recording
at the preferred time. I actually bought a VCR specifically to record a
program that comes on on Sunday morning at 4:00 AM. And then I
discovered that I'm located in the shadow of the broadcast signal and
can't receive acceptable audio from the station.


I use the recorders to make CDRs from Cassettes and tapes of old radio
recordings as well as from FM (analogue) and DAB (digital input) and DTTV
(digital input). A VCR would not be much use for this, and would be
inconvenient I'm afraid.

FWIW I do have a DVD video recorder, and use that to record both TV and
radio via DTTV. But that does not produce CDs, and has no digital inputs...

Slainte,

Jim
