Yes, I use mine for that. Don't expect setting up program recordings to be as easy as cable DVR. The set up for program recording is not very user friendly but it does the job. Antenna cable attachment is easy. Output to the TV is easy as well. Just read the user manual to set up.

Sure. Just connect the antenna cable to the input, scan for and program the channels, and you're good to go.

This unit has an ATSC tuner, so it should be able to record over the air HD signal. Just get a good antenna.

Of course. No matter where the video signal comes from, from air, cable, or other video equipment, it can record on to DVD disk or internal Hard disk.
183411
Yes. Just connect it to the same indoor or outdoor HDTV antenna that the TV is connected to. If its tuner can pick up the signal, it will record it.
183412
Yes as long as you get the one w/tuner. It is the same thing you pay extra for with dish or cable only it is over the air

Unless your main dvr has some sort of DLNA functionality, I'm going to lean towards no. You most likely are not going to able to watch recorded shows.

You should be able to record if you can connect it to your over the air antenna. I purchased a fine Philip antenna from Walmart which connects to the coaxial cable outlet and provides excellent reception.

I record digital channels on my recorder. You have to set it up for digital and for analog channels.

No, it doesn't provide that kind of service. You can only record over-the-air shows from an antenna. There's a new model, but I believe it works the same way - its tuners only accept antenna inputs.

No, You can record directly from your cable TV, however the unit will only record digital broadcast channels.

Yes and no. This device TUNES free over the air TV signals from an antenna, converts it to a streaming MPEG2 format, and sends it out over your home network to any computer or device that can use it. It is up to those computer's or devices to display, record, or otherwise use the video. The unit includes software for viewing but not recording. Computers running Windows Media Center, MythTV, or an assortment of other DVR software packes or devices can record from it.

Yes, all you need is a digital converter box which can be picked up for $38 and you will be all set to receive free over the air channels with the Cable Cutter antenna. Any digital converter will work, but we recommend this one:Mediasonic HW180STB HomeWorx HDTV Digital Converter Box with Media Player Function, Dolby Digital and HDMI Out (Old Version)

The changeover in February only affects off-air broadcasts (those picked up using an antenna). If you have cable (CATV) of any kind you don't have to be concerned about it. In fact, the tuner in this unit will tune digital off-air signals so it could be used in any case, eliminating the need for a converter for an analog TV. Simply connect the cable from the wall to the recorder and than use the highest quality input available on your TV to connect the recorder to the set. Your set will probably need at least a composite (Yellow/Red/White RCA) input. The description lists a coax (antenna) output but it is probably a pass through and will not modulate onto channel 3 or 4 the way old VCR's would. Unless you have very old set this wont be an issue.

To record from an off-air or cable signal, you will need an external piece of equipment with a built-in tuner (cable, satellite, or off-air converter box). No tuner means there is absolutely no antenna hookup in the unit. Although you can connect more than device to the unit, the way the DVD burner works means you can only record one channel at a time, just like an old-fashioned VCR. If two shows you've scheduled overlap, the one that starts first gets priority. There are other, more expensive units that do have tuners, but all of them are going to be limited to one channel at a time. That's just the limitations of the technology.

If your asking about t.v.? Then yes, I am using this device to record cable t.v. programming. If your asking about radio? Then no, it does not receive radio signals.

No on demand. It will record all the channels that you get through your service outside of on demand.
