I was looking at a few dvr's and i found a humanix that is a dvd recorder with a hard drive that is tivo compatible. Do i need the tivo service to record telivision programs or can i run it thourgh the cable box like a VCR? Could this be done with other dvr's that you need to connect to the internet for the tv guide or microsoft service?

No!
Just cable the DVR to Your Tivo and you'll be able to record directly onto DVD!

You need the TiVo service to use the box to record television programs to the harddrive. I don't believe you have to have the service to burn from the HD to the DVD but you have to get the programs on the HD in the first place.
