I just purchased an HD antenna so I can get rid of my cable subscription. Can I use this to record shows in conjunction with the antenna?

Yes. Plug your antenna into the Simple.tv. With this unit, you will only be able to watch your programs on a computer, a tablet, smartphone or Roku box (plugged into your tV). The Simple.tv does not plug into the TV directly.

Unfortunately no. You need to buy a Roku streaming device and download the simple tv channel. The Roku will let u watch recorded content on ur TV.

I have used it to record episodes of t.v. shows and a few football games to DVD. I was able to watch them later with no issues. Note: I use broadcast television. I do not have cable or satellite.

The unit should record the show from the original broadcast and it should play back exactly how it was recorded.I don't believe this unit has any extra "features." Leave those up to your TV.

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 .

Yes, you can record shows off the air. As long as you have the yellow, red, and white Tv inputs on your Television. I use them and did not use HDMI.

No. It is a great OTA tuner (2 of them) that record in HD. It does have inputs for other devices such as a satellite receiver BUT those are pass through to the TV. You can't record the other inputs.

You can. The highest broadcast in HD you will be able to view is 720P or 1080i. The only issue is that you will not have audio when using this cable, but you can always run it through a stereo. That's what I used this cable for.

The Channel Master DVR+ is designed for use as an OTA (over the air) antenna based DVR. It is an excellent product, it's only limitation is it receives and records channels that can be received with an antenna. The channels in question are subscription cable channels and as such, are not received by a normal TV antenna set up. You will be amazed at what you can get with a quality antenna. We are well pleased with the over 55 channels we receive, many in HD. No compressed signals or sound, EXCELLENT PICTURE. This DVR records HD and SD TV, and also has the ability to pause, rewind, and fast forward TV. I have a 1TB Seagate USB drive plugged into it, which provides over 100 hours of HD recording capability. Now the best part, No monthly rental fees !!!!!!!!!!! Hope this helps.

I'm not sure. It would make sense to get the HD antenna & receiver. If you ask Dish HD will be free.

Hi, No this won't record in HD even though it may be broadcast in HD. You'd need a blueray recorder to keep it to HD quality. This is just standard definition quality. I really like the units though if that's not an issue.

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.

I have only used it to record TV shows that i have already recorded to my regular DVR machine. I dont know if it would be possible to record live feed TV...

This unit will play a DVD recording so that your 3d-hd-tv will let you watch, but it won't be either hd or 3d. As for recording from the tv directly, my experience is that you can't do it--you need a separate tuner, and even then you need to fuss around for permission to record. If you are using a cable or satellite box, you will need to work with the provider to to let you record their content.

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.

You certainly can watch one show while recording another IF you have a second antenna attached to the TV's RF (antenna) input. You need only to connect the converter to the TV with the supplied rca cables. Or you can connect a single antenna to both the converter and the TV by using an inexpensive splitter.

3 separate pc's concurrently. Remember if you are recording a show and watching another you are using 2 tuners. Make sure all tuners are programmed correctly as well. I went a year without being able to use one until I discovered I had one of my tuners configured for HD air antenna source and not cable tv.
