Transferring shows to tape

Newbie

I'm trying to transfer shows -- either live shows or DVR'd shows -- to a VCR so I can have a permanent recording.  Page 25 of the Verizon On Line User Guide for the QIP 7216 box which I have shows a cable connection from the 7216 to the VCR but it doesn't work.  (There's no signal being sent.)  When I called tech support I was told this function is not available.  WHY NOT?  Why does the User Guide show the connection if this function isn't available?  And if it is available, what do I need to do to get it to work?

HD DVRs don't support coax out.

Use either composite or S-VIDEO output along with audio out and feed to your VCR (or I use a DVD Recorder).
Works just fine.

All outputs on the box work. You can get a SD RF output on the coax connection. Make sure the tuner on the VCR is on 3.
