Can you record a program on one channel while watching another channel?

It depends on the type of set up you have. On the old cable boxes you could but on the new ones you can not, now that's Comcast were I live. Direct TV you can get a recorder from them that tapes shows while you watch other shows and I think Dish TV also has a recorder for their systems' also and Comcast does also to. I know that some of the companies have their recorders set up that you can tape up to seven or more shows while watching one. I hope that this helps, things that use to be easy are a pain in to butt now.

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.

Yes, it will record both channels slash both tvs no other channels can be viewed at this time.

Yes, you can program the dvr to record a show, let's say, a show that is being broadcast on channel 5 while you are watching, lets say channel 7 .

Don't know. I have the receiver hooked to a DVR at home to record the video. I guess you could connect remotely to the DVR to monitor which camera channel you wanted to watch.

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

No. I wasn't sure, so I just tried it. The DVR has one tuner, so it can be tuned to one channel to record while you watch another channel on your TV. I tried recording 2 shows at once, but it only recorded the first one that I programmed.

You should be able to take a line from the monitor outputs (left is just mono) to record any signal from channels 1-10 and then use the monitor out to control the output.

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

I don't think so, although there might be a tweak or solution. However, if you have 2 or more Tivo's, you can access each other's recorded content from any of the connected Tivo

No, unfortunately you have to keep the tv tuned to the channel you are recording. I found out while trying to record a program for class while watching the news. Luckily a classmate had also recorded the program so I could watch it.

Not to my knowledge. I've not tried to do this but the playback and record menus are not operable at the same time.

of course. The entry level one actually records on 4 different channels at the same time while you're watching another one.

Only line inputs, not line outputs in channel 7/8. You can't record from the board and run monitors at the same time, only one or the other

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.

No it does not, the only way to record one channel while watching another is to split your cable (or other) connection cable one to unit one to tv or box.Ive not run into any that do that w/ out splitting.If you have a tv w/ digital tuner this shouldnt be a problem.

Yes, you can watch one channel and record another as long as you connect this product to an HDTV and set the modulation mode under the channel search menu to Loop Through. Although, you cannot watch a PREVIOUSLY recorded show while recording another channel.

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.
