You are looking for a DVD RECORDER. Best buy doesn't even sell them online anymore. It functions like a VCR but uses DVD-Rs instead of tapes. Fewer companies manufacture them anymore because so many people moved to digital downloads, streaming on demand services, and improved HD Blu Ray or UHD discs. You will pay a lot of money for a DVD RECORDER these days. If you are lucky, or buy a used model then it can cost anywhere between $100 (used, if you are lucky) to $500. Eight years ago you could have purchased a good DVD RECORDER from a reputable manufacturer for about $150 new. Fewer companies manufacture them now and they are now very pricey. Few shops carry them, too. Best Buy does not sell them online. Only DVD DRIVES, which are for your computer. You can burn DVDs with them, but there is an entirely different process in how you capture television programs and burn them to DVD-R and that is time-consuming and expensive and requires hardware and software that you have to buy and add to your computer. It requires familiarity with capturing video on your computer, editing it and authoring your own DVDs. Good luck.
