we're not supposed to because they have an anti-piracy device, but you can buy an anti-anti-piracy device for about $85,a DIMAX or somethinggadget of some sort. I'm packed to move & can;t find the box & can;t get to it without messing up my system. Just ask about it online - that;s howI found it.I can record anything off the tv with it.

I don't see any reason why not.I have SUMMIT cable ,similar to CABLEVISION and do it all the time.

As long as you have an analog output on your cable box, you can record the signal with this recorder. You do have to to set your recorder up for nstc (from pal) initially. It is in the setup book how to do it. Easy. The 24 hour clock is the only thing I do not care for in timer recordings

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 .

I think so. I bought the unit to record in a room that does not have a cable box. This will record because the recorder has a built in tuner. However I have cable. Call Toshiba Tech Support and ask by model number to be certain.

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

Yes you can. I have this unit and Verizon cable. I record tapes of TV programs on cable all the time. Also I can record tapes from DVDs in this unit . No external DVD player needed.

Yes, you can record programs from your Dish Network so long as you connect this recorder to the box provided to you by Dish.

There is not tuner in it so you would need a cable box or tv connected to be able to record broadcast content. We only use is for viewing DVD's and some older VHS tapes so I am not very familiar with the recording function. It has been a very reliable unit for us.

You need digital cable. Something like Fios or Comcast. It will record any channel that you get be it movie or show. I think the Tivo subscription is 13 a month. Then add in cable. This is not for over the air recording. Lastly you will need a cable card to descramble the signal and let the Tivo know what channels you get. This is from the cable company and mine is 5$ a month. This unit will NOT work with analog cable, satellite or an antenna. Right now it includes streaming services for Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. You can also stream youtube videos.

Yes, but keep in mind that you have to supply your own usb hard drive and you will be limited to recording whatever channels the antenna can pick up. Also you will not be able to record one thing and watch another. You will watch what is being recorded. The box does a pretty good job recording. I can't tell the difference between something that's been recorded and live tv. The naming scheme is basic and doesn't use show names so you may have a hard time finding a particular show you recorded if you record a lot of stuff. But all in all this box enables free hd recording of your local channels.

I don't think so. I don't use it to record from the cable tv - only to play dvds and video tapes.

Yes, you can; however, I don't think you can press record while on a current program and then change the channel. I think you have to schedule the recorder but be on the channel you want to watch before the time of the recording. We get our channels over-the-air; so, don't know how it works with cable or satellite.

Hi, I never tried recording TV programs on it, but I guess if you can find a way to feed TV signal to the DVR it will record them also, it works just fine with the cameras though.

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?
589486
No you will need a DVR to record. Any standard DVR with BNC input would work.

No, it doesn't provide that kind of service. You can only record over-the-air shows from an antenna. There's a new model, but I believe it works the same way - its tuners only accept antenna inputs.

I don't know about the antenna hook up.But yes you can record a program on it.
1286772
Yes if you are hooked up to an antenna, if you have a service like cable your cable wand controls the channels so you can only record what your watching. I just use it to record what I would like to watch when I'm gone.
