Yes, if your TV has composite-video out or s-video out. If your thinking of buying one I own 2 and they rarely work properly.

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

No not a live show you must start to record any show first it will then show up in my shows list and then you may watch it at any wifi network.

I don't see why not; I haven't personally tried, but I believe it will record on whatever type of media you have it (your recorder) set to record on. Goodluck!

Not real sure. But if your TV has HDMI input you might be able to use it to record to DVR. I'm not set up that way, so I'm not sure. Also check your TV for a video "line out" you could use this to record from.

Yes you can . This unit is digital as well and you can use it for your tv turner. P.s. I have had a new issue. Tv channels and shows know about these recorders and they are putting show type of digital signal that wont allow you to record all show. It happen to me watching welcome back cotter. , Family ties, the cosby show but most tv shows are record-able.

The short answer is no, because the unit only has one tuner. However, as digitalicecream states, if your TV has a tuner, you can use the TV tuner to watch programs while the unit is recording.

If you can connect to the output rca port of your tv tuner. Since the dvd recorder does not have a tuner it cannot record directly.

Yes it can record from an OTA antenna. And you can record in real time, allowing stop and rewind of a show you are watching through the device (cable or OTA). It can record in real time a show you are watching through one tuner and at the same time it can record a scheduled-to-be-recorded show through the second, timer-tuner (there are two tuners in the device). Will let you watch a previously recorded show while recording a new one. The limit is that it cannot record two shows at once using scheduler (it only has one tuner for pre-selected recording). On standard def should hold 125 hours. I like it. Remote is a boat. Yes it can record from an OTA antenna.

If you are asking if you can record the same video you are watching on the TV - yes.

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 you can record one channel while watching another if you have a direct connection to an antenna or cable drop.when using a cable box or external tuner you cannot.

You can use this Tivo to record over-the-air HD channels, if there are any in your area. To find out what station are near you and what size antenna you need to receive them go to http://www.antennaweb.org

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.

I believe you can. You download the recorded show and should be able to watch it anywhere. I bought this so my daughter could watch recorded programs while she is away at college, so she uses it a lot more than I do. I hope this helped.

Greetings; yes you can watch live as it records to what ever device you are recording to. It has great quality for the size of the LCD.
