Only the older DirecTV boxes provided composite video outputs that you could connect to a VCR. Newer equipment with HDMI OUT is not easily connected to a VCR.
The box on my main tv is C71KW-400. Have 4 others I stream through Rokus. I was trying to exit the Roku via HDMI converted to RCA cables into the VCR but couldn't get any feed that way. Have not tried from the main Directv box.
Right. The challenge will be converting the HDMI OUTPUT to a composite RCA video/audio to feed the VCR. Not all HDMI converters are created equally, and HDCP copy protection may block any video transfer.

Possible, yes. Easy, no.

What DirecTV equipment model(s) do you have?
