Mine never worked properly so I am not sure what it did. Bought two and they were both junk

I do not know. The owner's manual is no help either. I don't think so because it does not have an internal tuner.

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.

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.

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...

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.

If you want to be able to record one program while watching another, you sort of need a tuner. I am using my converter box that I saved when I switched to HDTV.

I own the DVD/VCR player that you purchased. Yes you can record TV shows with it. That is one thing I made sure it could do.

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.

It will record 1 channel while watching another, if you hook it up right, with your cable, satellite, or whatever your TV provider.

It records one show at a time but you can watch other tv shows at the same time.

Yes you can. You can also record it and play it back later, but only on the machine that you recorded it on.

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.

Yes you can, while an scheduled recording is in progress you can watch any other program.

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.

The recorder does have a manual set recording where you can select individual programs. User that method if you are not interested in reruns.

Yes it will. Actually, I think it will record up two different shows while you watch a third.

To my knowledge If you are thinking about recording live television the answer is no, since there is no video/audio input on the device. however there are applications that can supply you with pre-recorded material such as xbmc. Also if you meant to record programs on another device such as tivo etc using this as a controller yes you can. That being said this is based on Android and if you are technology savvy it is probably possible to use an application along with an external video/audio receiver to record anything but it requires work.
