Hi djnk74 and welcome.

How are you connecting the HD Receiver to the RDR-HXD870?

I don't think you can record in HD quality as the HXD870 does not have a HD input - just SCART, S-Video and Composite Video.  The HDMI is an OUTPUT only.

does that mean i can't use HD reciever as default input? been trying but i really can't figure it out.

What cable are you using to connect the HD Receiver to the RDR-HXD870?

I don't understand how you are grtting the HD Signal from the Receiver into the recorder?
