Does the TV have to be on to record a future show? Does the box have to be on to record a future show?

No. It will come out of standby to record an event but you can't change channel or watch a previous recording while it records. Press info on the remote to hide the "rec 00:00:00" message from the top left corner if you want to watch as it records.

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.

Can you record to the VHS from the TV? I frequently set the VCR to record a show if I'm out, but would not be interested in keeping it forever. I do not have a cable "box" or satellite.

When you program it to record a show, it will turn itself on to record the show and then back off when done. If you want to record something that's already started, change to the right channel, and just hit the record button.

Yes, you can record from TV as long as the show you are trying to record is not protected.

That depends on your cable company. If you use a box to get video to your TV set the dvd recorder will need to be connected to the box. Warning, there is no standard RF input to the recorder, you will have to use a RCA connection (RED< WHITE<YELLOW) cable, some cable boxes dont have this capability.

Yes. We record programs we like on our DirectV box to watch at our leisure. Then. on certain programs we know that we will want to save, we record to the Magnavox as we are watching. It is possible to record directly from the television as well.

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.

debarongh, While there are devices on the market that can record content (like DVRs and others), the television itself will not record content. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

No tuner so it can't directly record TV. If it is connected to another device that has a tuner then it could.

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

You can still record a channel as a series, or new episodes (confirmed) BUT, you must have an external hard drive attached to have the full capabilities with the DVR. This also includes the ability to record 2 channels at the same time while watching a 3rd recorded episode. You do not have to schedule every single day, to get the shows you want recorded.

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.

Short answer, yes. Just connect the recorder to the box by a cable. Most boxes have several outputs. You can connect the recorder to the box, then to the TV (i.e., have the recorder in series with the TV), or put the recorder and the TV onto separate box outputs (parallel connection). If you have a DVR, you can record from the DVR onto a DVD also.

Not sure if I understand the first question, if you mean can anyone notice it...no, not as long as it's it the box. It has a great picture day or night. Yes, the TV you connect it to has to be turned on to see what the camera's pointed to! You could connect it to some kind of recorder to watch it later. The TV wouldn't have to be on for this.

Yes you can if connected properly. We have our connected to Directv box and Directv box to tv. We record usually to the box and then when we watch the show, we record to disc.
