You can't record HDMI since it is HDCP encoded. You can't convert inputs to outputs so you can't record from the receiver.
If your PC has a VGA output you could use an active AV converter to provide an output to connect to the recorder.
I'm not sure what function the recorder provides since you can download most things you watch on the PC. There are addons for Firefox to do this and other programs as well.

Thanks for the response.
Could burn DVD from DVR if wanted.

Flash drive doesn't always work on her tv.
