CAN I USE MY DVR WITH MY ROKU null

I'm not sure how you want to use it. I have both my DVR and my Roku connected to my TV, and can use them both just fine. But if you want to somehow connect your Roku to your DVR, I have no idea.

I think it depends on the service provided by your cable or satellite company. My DVR (TWC) has inputs on the front for USB, stereo, etc., but they are not actually functional.

The DVR and Roku do not mesh into a single unit, but the DVR will still do its job if the Roku s used on a different HDMI Slot. If you use the picture in picture function on your TV, you might be able to check out your cable while using your Roku, no promises though.

Why would you want to do that? With the Roku, you can pretty much watch any content any time - doesn't that obviate the need for DVR? And even if you got it to work, then you are sending your streaming signal through the DVR to the TV, increasing the opportunity for signal degradation. Having said that, try it - can't think of any reason it wouldn't work.

I haven't tried that. I believe there is an app that works with dvrs, but I do not have one so I have not used it.
