Automatic Recording: Is it possible to record and store these shows automatically?

According to John Nelson you will have to press the record button yourself: "Another problem is the radio is unable to be preprogrammed to record at a future time/date, instead you must be with the radio to turn it on when the show starts." (Copied from the reviews section.)

Yes. I have 6 shows programmed to record at various times during the week. Hardest thing is ensuring the unit is in a place that receives a strong enough signal to justify listening to later on LOL, but programming is not a problem.

Do I need a separate recorder/hard drive to store recorded data? If not, how long does it record before the 'loop' ends and it starts rewriting over itself?

From the other answers, my understanding is that this does NOT allow the use of a program guide (like many others) to record things in the next couple weeks or as a series. I rarely want to set a recording within 6 hours of the actual time. It sounds like most of my recordings would need to be set by time slot and channel like an old VCR. Is this right?

No, this box has no recording capabilities. Only streaming, or playing already downloaded content.

Yes. You can set up a one time recording or recurring recordings by day, M-F, or by week. For example, I have a recurring recording set for several night-time programs that record the same time every week. There is a morning show that I like that is on Monday through Friday, so I record that every day M-F. It's really quite versatile, although the interface takes a little getting used to.

it will set itself to a remote control you are using. so if your remote works with recorded shows just program one of the keys to that function key on you remote. if it does not work send it back. hope this helps

You can watch a program in play-back while recording another. The power must be on to record. You have a selection of frequency such as daily or Mon-Fri.

Yes But it is time consuming! I feel you can just record them and fast forward by them.

Another good question. Also, can you set it to record for X hours? Still reading...

you can set these up for recording at pre set times or from motion. On motion you can set 5, 10, 15, and 30 second recording times

You have the control of when recording stops. When you do, it automatically sets up to start a brand new recording file.

I never tried it but it seems reasonable that it would record from a DVR. Since I got rid of it years ago I can't test it to see if it would, however. Good luck!

I returned the item a long time ago, but I think you can actually come into a show already on the air, press "rec" and start watching, and then after that you can press "pause" and "play" all you wish. You cannot do this with a show that you set to record and then walked in on mid-way. Nor can you do the "rec/pause" trick while the unit is already recording a show - without messing up your recording.

Two shows but if you record two you won't be able to watch another (third) show. You can record two shows and watch a previous recorded show while the two are recording.

I would highly recommend VideoSecu, portable DVR. A\C plug required. Records to SD card, Love it!

Yes, can record as the program is being broadcast, or later if the program was recorded the on the Direct TV computer box.
