Can I record and watch other tv stations at the same time?

Yes if you split the tv signal line with a splitter and input the recorder to tv by either rca jack input on tv or hdmi or component input.

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

Yes. Depending on your DVR, you can record one show in HD while watching another. Different DVRs will let you record 2 HD TV shows, and let you watch a 3rd in HD. The limitations is not with the Sling box, but in how many channels you can record and watch in HD in your DVR.

Yes, you can watch one channel and record another as long as you connect this product to an HDTV and set the modulation mode under the channel search menu to Loop Through. Although, you cannot watch a PREVIOUSLY recorded show while recording another channel.

Yes , you can record on all channels at same time, although it will fill your hard drive up fast, but you can overwrite old footage to make room. Your ONLY able to review 4 channels back at same time, as the dvr continues to record. Hope that helps clear up things.

I don't know about your specific carrier, but mostly, whatever comes out of the box and goes to your set can have this put in between, I'm fairly certain. In my case, before Comcast screwed things up and scrambled everything, we could tune their signal with our recorder. Now it's only one station at a time, and that means you can't watch one channel while recording another anymore. Thanks, Comcast! ...Another 'improvement', huh?

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.

you can only record one show at a time. don't if it will work with dish. if it does you have to hook it up between tv & dish equipment. when programed channel numbers will be different.

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.

Yes, can record as the program is being broadcast, or later if the program was recorded the on the Direct TV computer box.

It will record two programs at the same time. Obviously on two different channels. We do it all the time.

I doubt it, only because it's unlikely you could have two instances of the program open at once. You could however build a relatively cheap second PC and record the second video feed through that one.

You can stream to 3 pcs at the same time. And when you set them up be sure to have them point to each other's recorded tv folder to share recordings with each other.

The short answer is no, because the unit only has one tuner. However, as digitalicecream states, if your TV has a tuner, you can use the TV tuner to watch programs while the unit is recording.

Not to my knowledge. I've not tried to do this but the playback and record menus are not operable at the same time.

Can you manually select and view the correct local channels? If the problem is just recording, how do you select a program to record? What specifically happens?

There are 2 tuners so as long as you are only recording 1 show you can use the other to view live TV.
