No. However, my DirecTv HD-DVR allows for the recording of multiple programs while watching another channel. I would think yours does too.

I bought this to be able to get an internet signal. in theory that is what this is for, you can split the signal between two receivers in your home a Dvr and a regular receiver.

I did a DVR HDMI output to this device which split the signal to feed the input HDMI to two digital TV's, not sure on the PC end

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.

My Dish DVR has two receivers inside so I can have one program recording and watch another, or I can have two different programs recording and watch something I recorded last week. Both signals come out HD, but this device is to split the signal into two channels to go INTO the DVR and not into a TV. IF you want to split one signal for two TV's, you can buy a much less expensive splitter. In case I was not clear, this device hooks up to the satellite dish (the end with one cable). This device splits that satellite single in two so both of the satellite receiving circuits get a signal they can process into an RF signal to go to my television.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can record over-the-air digital channels. The Tivo forums website has a lot of information about using Tivo DVRs. Enjoy

Yes, you can record a channel and watch another channel, all you have to do it to return to your T.V. mode. and let the recorder continue on. You can also watch a recorded program from the recorder and record another program at the same time. Just read the manual and play with thesystem and you will become a pro after a short time. If everything else fails, just study the manual. Hope this helps, Doug

you can use it in place of a cable box but you will have 2 TV sets playing the same program. this system only moves the signal it will not give you a separate control

I never tried that. Assume it will depend on whether your DVR has inputs that will accept the signal output from the tuner.

Yes. In the iPhone app you select which DVR you'd like to view. I have two to pick from in different counties. I count 12 DVR slots on the app.

Yes. Depending on your DVR, you can record one show in HD while watching another. Different DVRs will let you record 2 HD TV shows, and let you watch a 3rd in HD. The limitations is not with the Sling box, but in how many channels you can record and watch in HD in your DVR.

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.
