No you can't record. It's good for Netflix, yourube, file sharing, music playing

yes the DVR records and has playback. you can also use a USB and take it off the DVR and play it elsewhere if you choose

Yes you can, very easy. the build in Zmodo software formats any hard drive you put in the DVR. The interface is through firmware so hard drive does not store the actual software, only the recorded video.

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.

There is not tuner in it so you would need a cable box or tv connected to be able to record broadcast content. We only use is for viewing DVD's and some older VHS tapes so I am not very familiar with the recording function. It has been a very reliable unit for us.

Yes you can watch live TV while you record, but you are NOT recording on this box because it's not a DVR. This box records to your computer/laptop.

Yes you can. But I would avoid this product. I wish I never bought it, the cameras are of poor quality and the DVR software is clunky.

Yes it does. as long as you get video and audio to the VRDV20 it will record shows from the TV DVR. I have done it many of times. If it doesn't work its because you have the cables hooked up wrong.

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.

It will play directly to your TV, but I do not believe it has the capability to record from a DVR as there is no interface or ability to drag/drop what you wish to record. I'm not the most tech savvy so if somebody else knows how to do this I would be very interested in hearing it. I would think there would need to be a middle piece of equipment to connect the DVR and the Recorder.

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.

I actually don't own one anymore, but no...you cannot record more than one show at a time because unfortunately, this machine only has one tuner in it. However, a similar but better DVR is Tablo, which comes in a two tuner and four tuner version.

I never tried it but it seems reasonable that it would record from a DVR. Since I got rid of it years ago I can't test it to see if it would, however. Good luck!

Your DVR must support audio, if it does there will be seperate connectors an controls for the audio. I hope this helps.

Only if your TV Has Audio and Video outputs. Most New TV's don't. You can record from DVR or Cable box outputs Video R and L audio. That's what I do. Some still have Svideo outputs use this first Peter better Video. Peter
