You can not only record HDTV on your DVR, it is considered to currently be the best way to do so. HDTV requires a large amount of space on your drive, so the bigger the storage unit the better if you plan on using your DVR to record HDTV. TiVo is an excellent feature and example that allows you to record HDTV.

DVRs Support HDTV and DD?Generally, yes. HDTV and dolby digital are widely used, therefore the DVR capability is available.Additional info for the United States - some cable companies (Comcast, Time Warner) now offer DVRs from Motorola and Scientific Atlanta that record and playback in HD with whatever audio is broadcast; usually for only about $5/mo for the equipment rental. Satellite companies also offer this service.At this point all HD DVR boxes available in New Jersey record in HD and in Dolby Digital, as long as that is how the source is being broadcast from the cable company.
No, but if you have Dish you may qualify for a upgrade for a Dish DVR.

If it is a Dish or DirecTV DVR, you cannot.
