I have an indoor antenna currently connected to my TV. Can I use this to also connect to a TV tuner and record shows while also watching live shows?

Hi Wes; The RCA DH24SPF splits the signal present on the IN connector into two signals. One signal is present on OUT 1 connector and one signal is present on OUT 2 connector. These two output signals are identical. You can record the signal input on IN on, say OUT 1, and watch that identical signal on OUT 2. I doubt that you want to record what you are watching but if you do than my answer is yes, otherwise no. Hope this helps.

I would say yes. I have my outdoor antenna connected to two tv's with this splitter and they work just fine.

yes, I watch TV as I record. There are 2 tuners in the haapauge. So, you can watch 1 channel and record another channel, or record 2 channels as long as you are watching 1 of the 2 channels being recorded.You cannot record 2 channels, and watch a 3rd channel. There are only 2 tuners in the device.

i have the tivo roamio with ota antenna support and tivo mini. all 4 tuners can be used to record on the roamio. The mini dynamically takes away one tuner when using it.

Yes, I use mine to watch cable or by switching see TV from the antenna. No problem to do what you want.

Yes it can record from an OTA antenna. And you can record in real time, allowing stop and rewind of a show you are watching through the device (cable or OTA). It can record in real time a show you are watching through one tuner and at the same time it can record a scheduled-to-be-recorded show through the second, timer-tuner (there are two tuners in the device). Will let you watch a previously recorded show while recording a new one. The limit is that it cannot record two shows at once using scheduler (it only has one tuner for pre-selected recording). On standard def should hold 125 hours. I like it. Remote is a boat. Yes it can record from an OTA antenna.

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.

think about what you are talking about for a moment. Your t.v. uses a coax cable hook up. You can plug the USB part of this device into the t.v. if your t.v. has a USB port but you will still be using the coax cable to access the tuner and the tuner that will be accessed is the tuner in the device you are thinking of buying. You probably will not get as many stations if you use the tuner that this device is equipped with; you will probably get more stations using your t.v.'s own tuner. Besides that the one that I got the package was okay but the device inside was broken; totally. If you do buy it; it was meant for the computer as a video capture device. Its up to you.

You should be able to record the same signal your TV is getting. If you have a picture on your TV you should be able to record it.

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...

a tuner allows you to watch and record things off cable or satilite which was the clincher for me why i purchased this particular model. Without it, I couldnt have watched or recorced off cable simple as that.

Though I've never tried it, there is a record button on there so I assume it can record. It's Tunerless, therefore there is no direct connection from the cable. You have to use the A/V connection, Yellow/Red/White

You can use this Tivo to record over-the-air HD channels, if there are any in your area. To find out what station are near you and what size antenna you need to receive them go to http://www.antennaweb.org

You should be able to record if you can connect it to your over the air antenna. I purchased a fine Philip antenna from Walmart which connects to the coaxial cable outlet and provides excellent reception.

Yes, you will be able to set up recording of programs off the air ahead of time but the feature does not work the way you would expect. In my tuner, the calendar is a few days behind the actual date and I always need to correct programming for that offset. The other inconvenience is that the tuner does not automatically takes the channel number and the time from the program guide. I need to set up recording manually. To make HD TV recording it is important to use a fast USB 3.0 hard or flash drive. I am using PNY flash drive with 130MB/s writing speed and it provides high quality HD recording.
