can someone tell me if this unit will record one channel while I watch another? I have this unit and comcast cable, and have not been able to figure out how to do that and the manual doesn't address this question -- nor did Panasonic's cust serv. Is a...

I am able to. I have a different cable company but I don't think it matters. The cable channels come in via the digital tuner and it's my TV remote that I use to watch another channel. Does your TV remote have an input button? So that while AV is recording you can switch to TV mode and watch another program? If you are using a cable box that might be the issue.

The unit should record the show from the original broadcast and it should play back exactly how it was recorded.I don't believe this unit has any extra "features." Leave those up to your TV.

I think the issue is on your DVR, not the cable. If you are seeing the video it's not the camera or the DVR. You may need to enable the channels to record. I'm pretty sure every time I added a camera in had to tell the DVR to start recording the new channel.

I have two of the Daewoo and each records all the channels available to me on my Directv including the above and premium channels. If the Daewoo fails to record any channel it may be a set up problem.

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

yes you can record one channel while watching another if you have a direct connection to an antenna or cable drop.when using a cable box or external tuner you cannot.

This unit will actually have two tuners. So it will be capable of recording two things at once just like the DirecTV units. Which means that unless you need to record two things while watching a 3rd live program, there will be no need to split the cable and use your TV or VCRs tuner.Da

Does anyone know how to record programs from a DVR cable box (like TIVO)? Im not sure if I need a DV cable or if it can't be done.

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

It will record only one channel at a time. It has just one tuner. Ity will record while you watch another program if you use a splitter and run the other leg directly to the TV.

Can you manually select and view the correct local channels? If the problem is just recording, how do you select a program to record? What specifically happens?

So Comcast functions normally with this remote? Like using the guide, recording/playing/rewind/pause DVR, etc. Want to be sure before I buy this. Thanks!!

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.

It looks like they just added the ability to only record new episodes.http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/30/channel-master-dvrplus-gets-youtube/

I have a digital cable box and it only records to the channel that I select. On my Toshiba, there is no choice to choose which station to record. Whatever station is selected on the TV, it records. Hope this helps. roger

Yes, you can record a channel and watch another channel, all you have to do it to return to your T.V. mode. and let the recorder continue on. You can also watch a recorded program from the recorder and record another program at the same time. Just read the manual and play with thesystem and you will become a pro after a short time. If everything else fails, just study the manual. Hope this helps, Doug
