How many shows can it record at once ?

Two shows but if you record two you won't be able to watch another (third) show. You can record two shows and watch a previous recorded show while the two are recording.

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 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 , you can record on all channels at same time, although it will fill your hard drive up fast, but you can overwrite old footage to make room. Your ONLY able to review 4 channels back at same time, as the dvr continues to record. Hope that helps clear up things.

This does not connect directly to your TV. I plugs into a computer which you could then hook up to a TV through multiple methods. If you already knew that then yes, you can watch one show while another is recording.

It is recording 8 channel but when you play back only 4 channel are play. So, you have to play back the others 4 channel.

Yes, and depending on what software you can record at least 2 tracks. No problem...

All 8 channels can be viewed and recorded at the same time. The software downloaded from their web site allows for additional channels to be viewed and recorded, The one I set up was for 16 channels.

This DVD Recorder does not have a built-in tuner. You would not be able to record a show while watching another unless you connect a separate tuner to this recorder.

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

With 4 cameras running 24/7, you should be able to record about 25 days' worth of video with 500 GB. Thank you!

Yes. You can set up a one time recording or recurring recordings by day, M-F, or by week. For example, I have a recurring recording set for several night-time programs that record the same time every week. There is a morning show that I like that is on Monday through Friday, so I record that every day M-F. It's really quite versatile, although the interface takes a little getting used to.

It records over so you never run out of space. There is a setting in the preferences area for this. I have the 8 cameras running and I think I have more then 14 days of history.

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.
