If your TV has composite Video and Audio out capability, it may work. You still need a computer , the software and a USB capture device. Better stuff available.

To record shows you will need a VCR or DVD recorder or a DVR. You plug the antenna into one of those and your recorder to the TV with RCA cables

You'll need a device that has RCA inputs to record the video. A VCR or a computer with a TV card that has a VIDEO IN connector.

Yes. There is a 'multi' jack that can be used to output to a video recorder or TV. You will have to purchase an optional AV cable for this however.

No, unless it has its own input source such as a converter box or cable decoder. Then you can record anything you want and watch something else on the TV. You also need to split the input caple in order to have two separate inputs.

I need more information to be able to answer your question eg. how are you trying to record shows?Do you have cable TV?

I don't know because it would record unless you have a cable box, which I don't even though I have cable. I bought from amazon a magnabox which would work.

Yes you can . This unit is digital as well and you can use it for your tv turner. P.s. I have had a new issue. Tv channels and shows know about these recorders and they are putting show type of digital signal that wont allow you to record all show. It happen to me watching welcome back cotter. , Family ties, the cosby show but most tv shows are record-able.

You will need an amplifier or A/v reciever. Tv output is not sufficient It does not decode the sound so it wont work

It would work as a recorder, since it would connect to the TV just fine. It should work as well as it did on the component plugs going directly into the TV. The USB power is what powers the unit. It runs off the TV (if you have an USB connector there - that's what we did). It won't work without being powered by the USB connection. You can buy an adaptor that goes from the USB connection to a plug that can be plugged in, but you will need something to power it.

It will play directly to your TV, but I do not believe it has the capability to record from a DVR as there is no interface or ability to drag/drop what you wish to record. I'm not the most tech savvy so if somebody else knows how to do this I would be very interested in hearing it. I would think there would need to be a middle piece of equipment to connect the DVR and the Recorder.

If you can connect to the output rca port of your tv tuner. Since the dvd recorder does not have a tuner it cannot record directly.

Yes, you can record shows off the air. As long as you have the yellow, red, and white Tv inputs on your Television. I use them and did not use HDMI.

Sure can but you'll most likely need a 3.5 mm to RCA cable. Unless your TV has a headphone jack in the back.

Yes, if you have a cable that will connect to the TV and plug into the camera.

Hi Donna,I'm not sure. I only recorded shows from our cable box. It worked perfectly with that.

This unit can record from just about any source, radio, sound board, tv, anything that has RCA output plugs or you could use an adapter to go say from 1/8 inch to RCA.I am using it to record live music from a sound board.
