Can you watch another station while recording on vhs?

Yes you can record and watch another station at the same time. Your manual should tell you to select channel 3or 4 on your tv and then set your VCR to record after programming. Then switch your station to whatever you want. If your going throgh a Direct TV box you have to make sure your cables are on the in and out part correctly. I hope this helps.

Yes you can, while an scheduled recording is in progress you can watch any other program.

Not sure if you're still looking for an answer. But if you still want to know, the answer is "no". This is not a tool to transfer or import clips from one format to another. You will have to first convert your VHS movies into digital format before you can use this software for editing.

Yes, you can record a show on one channel and watch another show on another channel. Or you can record a show on one channel and "chase" it, i.e. come home when you've recorded the first half of the show and start watching at the beginning.Or you can watch an already recorded show while recording a show. --Lee Gold

If you want to be able to record one program while watching another, you sort of need a tuner. I am using my converter box that I saved when I switched to HDTV.

I don't know since I haven't read all the instructions for recording programs. On a former product, there were two tuners so I could watch a program while recording another channel, or record both channels, but not watch or record a third .

Yes if you set any tv up properly with a tivo you can watch channel a while channel b is recording. To do so on current models you'll need to get an adapter and run a separate cable line to the tivo and another to the tv. Hopefully the new Tivo's will offer pass through signals like those old VCRs did.

I actually used it on two dual machines (one not being a dvr), put the vhs in one and connect the decorder than into the other machine. It worked great.

Yes, just plug the cable running from antenna into the unit. If you purchase a splitter you can go one cable into your t.v. and one into the unit. This will give you the ability to record and watch another channel at the same time.

Yes, the S-Video output from VCR machine can be connected to the Video in side of the DVD recorder. Sound cables are connected as normal. The sound quality from older VHS tapes may be noisy. If you have a PC with a DVD drive, and software to edit video, the simpler solution is to record the VHS tape on to the hard drive, use the sound filter, and then burn the DVD.

Yes, you can view VHS tapes on this unit too. See my response to "Has anyone been able to play/view a VHS tape?"

This unit will actually have two tuners. So it will be capable of recording two things at once just like the DirecTV units. Which means that unless you need to record two things while watching a 3rd live program, there will be no need to split the cable and use your TV or VCRs tuner.Da

Yes! This is why I bought it. I can convert my VHS tapes to DVD discs. It works perfectly. The only thing you can't do is watch tv on another channel when you are recording a program.

I would say yes. Run your coax from the antenna through the box then the vcr then the tv, that should take care of it. But remember you are at the mersey of the box. You can only record the channel the box is tuned to. You can't record one and watch another.

I have not done so personally, But I believe you can do that with any vhs/dvd machine So long as you have it connected properly. You have to be sure that your DVR gets connected to the VHS/DVD player, Then you should be able to record onto a VHS tape, not a DVD cuz it's not a burner. Hope that helps.

No. This is intended to use where a composite input is not available. The composite signal will always be of less quality that an original S-VHS.
