This only works with a single TV and will not replace a Verizon Fios multi-room VCR that allows you to view recorded shows on multiple TV's, correct?

This unit can be used as one of the many units to set up a similar setup to the Verizon Fios multi-room VCR. You can record a show on one Tivo and watch it on another. They just have to be connected via intranet (all be on the same network).

You can buy a device from TIVO to put on other TV's to stream from your TIVO to other TV's. If you have more than one TIVO you can transfer the shows from one to another. I have 3 TIVO's and we can watch shows recorded from one to the other.

only if you need to connect more than 4 directv tuners. One line per tuner i.e. not DVRs take one line and DVRs need 2 lines

I was curious about this too. With old VCR units in the past, you could set the VCR to a public station like channel 3 and have it record from the TV tuner itself.Perhaps one could use a cable box output via coax to this unit and set the unit tuner to channel 3 or similar. This would however remove any automatic facets unless you set your EyeTV software to record channel 3, and make sure the cable box was set to the correct channel ahead of time.Anyone know if this would hold true?

If you have a cable box from Timer Warner, you should be fine. The cable box will act as your tuner. You only need a tuner in your vcr if you DONT have a cable box.

When I purchased it, it was only one mount and it works perfectly for what I wanted - which is a Fios box and DVD player. What gave you the impression it was two?

One receiver=one program at a time. The DVR has just one receiver so, whether watching live TV or recording, the unit can only receive one program at a time. Use an RF splitter to send a signal to both your TV and the DVR and you'll be able to record one show to the DVR and watch a different show simultaneously on your TV using the TV's receiver.You can watch a show previously recorded to the DVR hard drive while simultaneously recording another show to the hard drive.

Unless your main dvr has some sort of DLNA functionality, I'm going to lean towards no. You most likely are not going to able to watch recorded shows.

It is not "exactly" designed to help with that because no VCR is involved. BUT you never know. To find out on your own, you would have to buy it first! I would suggest first contacting the seller [or manufacturer] through Amazon. That way you should be able to find out before purchasing. Good luck, MR

I am using Verizon FIOS for TV/INT/PH. Can I eliminate their DVR unit and run the Inout signal straight to a Magnavoix MDR-515 recorder? Or will I have run it through their DVR and then to the DVR 515/ OR will I have to use a splitter with seperate Inputs to both recorders?

As long as you have a supported video input and a high speed internet, you need a computer with a video out option on it. TV to TV wont work. I watch my home FIOS DVR in Baltimore when I travel. The quality depends on the speed of your internet connection. I travel to many parts of the country and mostly view on my US Cellular phone. The faster the connection, the better it works. Best purchase I have made in a long time.

I'm not sure how that works to be honest. I do know that you need to buy a tuner to record shows from your tv. I'd assume you need the same thing to record from your DVR.

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.

Based on my experience, yes. It will handle them all.I just setup mine tonight with Comcast DVR, a portable DVD player (that I wasn't sure it would recognize but did), VCR, and XBox. Setup was super-easy and my devices work great through it. I watched a show recorded on the DVR just to make sure with no issues. It doesn't have a DVR-specific button but you can just hit Menu and pick DVR from the list - same for On Demand.

The box doesn't know if you are watching the output from it or not. Thus, you can split the antenna signal with half going to the box and half going to an alternate antenna input on your TV. This way you can watch one show and record another. I don't have this exact box, but I have the HDMI output from the box going into my TV and the (split) antenna signal going in the coax input on the TV. Then by choosing the source: HDMI gets me the box output (whether live or playback), while ANT gives me the live OTA signal. Of course, this works because my TV has a built-in tuner and I am just using the box as a primitive DVR. Since you stated that your TV is newer, it most likely will have a built-in ATSC tuner.

Yes, I used this with my fios dvr. There were some small issues when deleting shows. Like the show wouldn't delete. But it was worth it for us. Comparability depends on the model of your fios dvr.

This will replace theirs to the extent that it will record one event at a time. You can also watch TV at the same time it is recording. I have two of them so I can record two shows at a time. It sure beats paying someone else for the service. It also has space to record many shows in HD or regular digital. No additional equipment is required.

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
