Can I connect it to the tv via Hdmi to record or it only works with an antenna?

You have to have an antenna attached to it and then you can connect channel master to the tv with the hdmi to view.

You have to have a cable card in the device for it to work. Your situation may neccessetate some sort of capture card. This one is truly a cable recording device like a settop box DVR

Does your HDTV have an HDMI out port or at least component cables to hook up to the input of the DVD recorder? I doubt it does so it is highly unlikely that you could record from the TV. In order to be able to record anything you need an input source that has its own tuner, or cancels the need for a tuner, as this recorder does not have one built in, but without some type of input source there will be nothing for the recorder to record

Antennas do not connect via HDMI. The antenna is picking up an analog multi-channel RF signal and the best choice of cable to carry that signal is coax. All antennas require a device that can receive the analog signal and turn that into a digital HDTV signal. Most current TV's or DVRs (such as TiVo) have this receiver built in. HDMI is used for connecting digital sources to each other.

It has HDMI out to a TV but not in. You have to use a triple RCA component type cord from your cable or dish box. You can't hook a cable or antenna to this unit & to record from TV you need an anti-anti-piracy gadget (about $85) or you can't record TV shows. It's a great unit & you CAN edit your programs,but the instructions are vague& poor & you have to figure out a lot yourself. I'd be glad to answer questions as this is the 2nd unit like this I've had.

Yes, this Panasonic DVD recorder will record television shows with only an antenna. The Panasonic DMR-EZ28K has a digital tuner and receives digital signals. I used mine with only an antenna with no problem.

No it unfortunately doesn't work with an antenna. There is a tivo that does, though: https://www.tivo.com/discover/antenna

I do have it hooked up and use Windows Media Center to manage watching and recording programs. The outdoor antenna coaxial attaches to a USB TV tuner (many available at Amazon) which is connected to the Lenovo, and an HDMI connects from the Lenovo to the TV. To note: You can record a program and you can watch the program while you're recording, but you can't watch one program and record another unless the TV has it's own antenna or broadcast connection separate from what is connected to the PC TV tuner. But to answer your question, yes it is powerful enough and that's just how we use it.

Yes, just plug the cable running from antenna into the unit. If you purchase a splitter you can go one cable into your t.v. and one into the unit. This will give you the ability to record and watch another channel at the same time.

Yes, I use mine for that. Don't expect setting up program recordings to be as easy as cable DVR. The set up for program recording is not very user friendly but it does the job. Antenna cable attachment is easy. Output to the TV is easy as well. Just read the user manual to set up.

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.

Though I've never tried it, there is a record button on there so I assume it can record.It's Tunerless, therefore there is no direct connection from the cable. You have to use the A/V connection, Yellow/Red/White

It can be used with an antenna; however, I recommend a different, less expensive unit by Avermedia. I have purchased both and am much happier with the less expensive, more dependable AverTV Volar Himax, which works inside Windows Media Center. It plays, records and schedules just like a high end Digital Video Recorder with no monthly fees. And, it costs less than half what the Hauppauge costs. Hope that helps.

To record shows you will need a VCR or DVD recorder or a DVR. You plug the antenna into one of those and your recorder to the TV with RCA cables

This system does not record, it merely sends audio and video remotely to its receiver. You can connect the receiver to a TV or a DVR/VCR type device. There are a few micro SD card DVRs that you can purchase to connect to it, but stand alone this does not have a record function.

I've never encountered your situation, but it seems to me that any signals that enter the recorder should record ... if you have a cable that goes from HDMI to RCA. Good luck!
