You can only record 1 show at a time, but can schedule many recordings in advance for different days and hours.

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.

No. I wasn't sure, so I just tried it. The DVR has one tuner, so it can be tuned to one channel to record while you watch another channel on your TV. I tried recording 2 shows at once, but it only recorded the first one that I programmed.

That isn't possible but you can pause and start recording again. As you record each new "piece" they are given its seperate recording name so you can substitute if you like. What you want can be done with a tape recorder but not these Sony's.

I listened while recording, so it seems you can. But I never tried listening without recording in progress.

The recorder does have a manual set recording where you can select individual programs. User that method if you are not interested in reruns.

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 .

Alex, This is not an issue relating to the disk, but rather the hardware/software you are using to record the show. Most recording devices allow for a disk to remain "open" after recording and "finalized" at some later point. That being the case, you should be able to do what you want to do for multiple recordings. For example, I am using a dual VCR/DVD machine to copy my personal VCR tapes, and my system allows me to put multiple tapes on one DVD before finalizing it.

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. You can record one or two tracks simultaneously, while the remaining tracks are playing back.

Yes you can. You have two separate inputs, and you can record either or both.

It can record one show at a time (it only has one tuner). While recording, that's the only live tv channel you can watch, but you can watch other previously recorded items. The recording limit is based on the size of the hard drive you connect. The Simple.tv does not include storage space, you will need a USB hard drive in order to record shows.

You can record one channel while you watch another as long as you schedule the recording. In other words, you can not just hit record and then watch another channel.

Yes you can watch in real time and you will record sound but only one camera at a time. So if you move from room to room you will have to switch camera feeds from camera 1 to camera two if you want audio. I have 4 cameras working at once but no sound unless I switch to a single camera view.

No, if: 1. You are using 9 or less cameras on the same network. These cameras support SD card recording, and the browser plugin and mobile app allow simultaneous viewing and management of up to 9 cameras. 2. You are using more than 9 cameras, but don't need to centrally view and manage all of them at once. Each camera can also simultaneously record to a designated computer on their local network, in addition to SD card recording. Yes, if: You want to centrally view and/or manage more than 9 cameras on the same network, or view/manage cameras that are on separate networks.

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.

I dont' know if you have received an answer...IF you use a cable box....run cable from box thru VCR then to TV. then you can record and watch at the same time. IF you have a new TV.....it is getting harder and harder to record shows...I can only record from my cable box OR an older analog TV. It is only a matter of time before we wont' be able to record a TV show...big box stores no longer carry DVD recorders....I suspect mixing the signal to prevent recording is in our future. Good luck

yes we can watch one channel and record another. and we love our magnavox. so if you want to watch another program while recording, use input through tv antenna.

Yes, but you can only view one at a time. There is a button on the monitor that allow you to switch through cameras
