You must have something wired wrong. You can record cable. Some Cable systems DVR's prevent recording of selected shows but that is in cable company DVR's not what you own.
I assume by CD you mean a DVD recorder.
Assuming you have digital cable that requires a box. Cable from the wall to the input of the cable box. Take the Audio/Video output of the cable box (Yellow, Red, White to the input of the VCR/CD Recorder. Set the cable box to the channel you want to record. Set the VCR/DVD recorder to channel 3, (or 4 depending of the switch setting on the back of the VCR/CD) Record only channel 3 / 4 not the channel that the show is on. Take the Audio Video output of the VCR/DVD to the TV set. Put the TV on Aux input. Hit record on the VCR / DVD when your show comes on. If using a recoding menu make sure you record channel 3 / 4.
