I believe you'd have to do it into a computer with a built-in TV tuner card.

 

In other words, if there's a will, whatever the "way" is...well, it's above my head.

This may not be as easy as it sounds.  In addition to the already mentioned DRM ("Macrovision") problem, VCRs weren't meant to record HD-size pictures.  (There's also a possible problem concerning the fact that VCRs are expecting a 480-line signal, but I think the STBs automatically convert the signal to 480 if it is being output through the S-Video or "composite" (red/white/yellow jacks) outputs.)  You might end up with a picture that has black borders on all four sides.

@pocilujko I see you did literally say "tape" . And, we jumped it up to other things that replaced VCRs.

 

So, you can use a VCR - Connect the output of the U-verse box (red, white, Yellow) to the matching input on the VCR Hit record on the VCR and play on theshow on gthe u-verse DVR. You can see iton the TV connected to the output of the VCR.
