Recording with this Tivo: Can you record with this while watching a program on another channel?

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.

I don't think so ... the commands indicate that a disc is required in the drive before recording can begin. You should probably investigate TiVo.

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

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

It worked for me. My TIVO wasn't changing channels when I wanted it to record a different channel than the one I was watching. This apparatus helped, now it changes to all the different channels I program to record.

Don't know. I have the receiver hooked to a DVR at home to record the video. I guess you could connect remotely to the DVR to monitor which camera channel you wanted to watch.

You can use it like an old VCR -- record by times etc... But the guide (show listings) will be empty. Also -- if it is a Series 2 the HD will not look great as the TiVo does not support HD.

John:I bought this unit for my husband for Christmas and I just checked with him. He said that you can record directly from the TV into this unit. If you want to save the program after you have watched it, you need to save it to a disc while recording or once you watch it, it automatically deletes

I believe you can. You download the recorded show and should be able to watch it anywhere. I bought this so my daughter could watch recorded programs while she is away at college, so she uses it a lot more than I do. I hope this helped.

when recording go back to your TV to watch and channel surf. you don't have to stay on the DVR to watch television. when you choose the HDMI that is hook to your dvr you just go back to that and choose TV to watch your television and it will record as long as you have set it up to record the program you want

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 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
