Can you pause, rewind and fast-forward live TV with this device? Also, can you record shows with this on your PC? And are the recordings in HD?

You can record, rewind, and playback with Cloud TV service from FreeAir.tv which works with Hauppauge Broadway tuner. Check out www.freeair.tv

I'm still getting used to mine, but, yes, you can start recording right away. Just hit the red rec/pause button. Every time you stop a recording (by hitting the black stop button), then hit the rec/pause, it starts a new recorded file. I'm still tinkering with mine and getting used to the fast-forward and rewind functions, but I like it so far. If you haven't downloaded the complete user manual, you should. It'll answer any questions you have about operating the recorder.

I have only used it to record TV shows that i have already recorded to my regular DVR machine. I dont know if it would be possible to record live feed TV...

I don't think this will do what you want. I don't believe it actually records anything. It basically connects a hard drive to your TV. I bought mine long ago and it's since found a spot in my closet. While it may have improved since I bought mine, the interface was very clunky.

It records continuously "in the background" in a 6-hour buffer (last 6 hours you've tuned to), so when you're watching live TV and want to replay or save something, you press PAUSE, which freezes the pic at that point. When you want to resume watching that show, you press PLAY and you'll see the remaining part that you missed while paused. You'll be in "Chase Play" mode, which allows you to skip commercials, etc. until you catch back up to the live show.

I returned my simple TV Device and purchased the HD homerun Device the HD homerun device has two tuners built in, is the same size box as this simple TV, and records files to windows. I then got an app "instantTV pro for my ipad and I am happy now. I have other ways to save and view TV shows on the IPAD if needed

Recorded shows? Are you referring to shows you have stored on a hard drive? I don't have the costar anymore but it does have a plex app that works somewhat. I would suggest a chromecast cheaper and actually works a lot better

Yes you can . This unit is digital as well and you can use it for your tv turner. P.s. I have had a new issue. Tv channels and shows know about these recorders and they are putting show type of digital signal that wont allow you to record all show. It happen to me watching welcome back cotter. , Family ties, the cosby show but most tv shows are record-able.

You can use it like an old VCR -- record by times etc... But the guide (show listings) will be empty. Also -- if it is a Series 2 the HD will not look great as the TiVo does not support HD.

tuner works for analog and digital signals (cable or over the air). It dooes not record in HD--but it does upconverty the recordings to hd. Plays pre recorded disks in upconverted clarity. You will be spoiled by the hard drive recording (no tpes etc) Can be bought from Walmart on ship to store(on line)

Not with DVR for any of the fast forward, rewind, pause or other functions. It will simply turn it on and change channels.

This does not connect directly to your TV. I plugs into a computer which you could then hook up to a TV through multiple methods. If you already knew that then yes, you can watch one show while another is recording.

I would say no, this is not TV-quality, it's not full HDV, (it's HDV 1080 60i, so interlaced, not progressive). It's geared more towards the record to tape and then playback/capture to computer workflow.To Laura, you need to capture the video to the computer via iLink/firewire and a video editing software, I use Final Cut Pro to injest the footage to files (and yes it does automatically break to separate clip files at start/stop points)

The Hauppauge has two tuners. You need to have it connected to your computer. I use Window Media Center. You can watch one show and record one other through your computer.

yes, you can record fron a standard tv station. if you are refering to a hdI cable yes ,I believe there was a cable included in the box. also if you mean does it record in hi-def. , yes. but no to HDD. And at the slowest speed , you can record up to 8 hrs. just like the tape unit next to it.

Yes, you can rewind and play back just like most other audio recorders. It has the same type of functions, i.e. record, pause, play, rewind & fast forward. It also gives you a very clear audio playback for it's size.

I returned the item a long time ago, but I think you can actually come into a show already on the air, press "rec" and start watching, and then after that you can press "pause" and "play" all you wish. You cannot do this with a show that you set to record and then walked in on mid-way. Nor can you do the "rec/pause" trick while the unit is already recording a show - without messing up your recording.
