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.

Not by itself. You must use a converter such as: Audiovox Corporation CRF907 RCA Compact RF Modulator. Available here on Amazon.

Hi Mad, normally you can't do that directly on the TV. You can record from your Cable Box. -Vincent

There is not currently an option to record only new episodes. All episodes (both new and rerun) of that show on the channel selected will be recorded.

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.

It depends, the unit itself has to be tuned to the channel it is recording. My output from the recorder to the TV is HDMI, so it would be possible to split the antenna signal and send it to both the recorded and the TV, then tune them separate. My problem is that the incoming signal is from a cable box, and I have to use the cable box to control channel selection, so, I am stuck with being able to watch/record only one channel at a time. It will allow you to watch what you are recording, while recording (rewind, pause, jump forward, etc.) You can also watch anything you have already recorded while recording a new show.

Hi, No, I just tried it and it won't do it. At least not when I just hit record and then tried to change channels, it wouldn't allow me to. I would assume it would be the same on timer recordings too. Thinking about it, it would have to have a dual tuner for you to be able to do that. One tuned to what's recording, and another tuned to a different channel, and I'm sure it's not a dual tuner setup. You can however watch another program that you already have recorded to the hard drive at the same time as you are recording. Hope this helps...

No, You can record directly from your cable TV, however the unit will only record digital broadcast channels.

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

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.

Yes. Depending on your DVR, you can record one show in HD while watching another. Different DVRs will let you record 2 HD TV shows, and let you watch a 3rd in HD. The limitations is not with the Sling box, but in how many channels you can record and watch in HD in your DVR.

Yes. You can program it to record a show or a series for every day at a specified time or once a week at a specified time.I hope this helps.

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

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.

It will record two shows at once with an OTA antenna. One HD antenna will do, you don't need two. Due to different channels requiring a change in my HD ant. position, I had to give in & get basic cable again. I really tried, but couldn't deal with some shows being recorded to the extent that I couldn't enjoy watching the show. I even bought a different HD Ant., but still had the same result. Unfort. I'm not in a good position. But, I do love my TIVO.

If you are asking if you can record the same video you are watching on the TV - yes.

In theory it should work but you would only be able to record one channel (left vs right). I have not personally tried it.
