Hi Stephen What model Airport Express do you have? I have an older (vertical) AE and I recollect that the Ethernet port is a “line” only connection. You can plug an intenet modem into it, but you can’t extend the ethenet home network “drop” side. That is, the DVD recorder may not connect the way you want. There have been newer model AE’s since mine, which may have the functionality you want. Worth checking, I think.
