It seems I can only watch TV that I have recorded. I want to watch LIVE TV, rarely would I desire to record them. How to watch live on my PC?

Boss Fan is correct- be sure to use Google Chrome browser, not Internet Explorer as IE is not supported and will produce undesirable results.

Since you mention PC: using Google Chrome browser, after logging into your Simple TV account, there should be a list of channels your tuner has found under the heading "What's on right now" on left side of home page. Once you click on any one of those channels it will show you a screen where you click the play button to start watching the channel. This is assuming you did a channel scan and have the tuner set up properly on your network. Good luck.

I have Directv but I have my recorder wires in the out plugs of my cable box. To record I change my tv to the AV selection on my tv and it will show the same programming from your tv. Make sure recorder is on. Your manual shows the plugins.

Over the air digital TV only or online streaming media like YouTube. You can record while you watch anything else...... Where would you find analog TV broadcast signals these days anyways? ;-)

The device is intended for capturing (recording) video and then playing or editing it on the PC. Install the software according to the included instructions, connect the device to your TV, run the software and capture the video.

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.

You need video capture software, such as Pinnace Studio (I think they are in ver. 17 now). You might also need a usb tv tuner. A tuner might come with video capture software.

You can't record on this tv. If you want to record you need an external device such as a dvr or vcr.

yes we can watch one channel and record another. and we love our magnavox. so if you want to watch another program while recording, use input through tv antenna.

You can view the video feed locally on your network. Your PC will need to be connected to your network with Ethernet or WiFi. Internet service is not required. Hope this helps!

If you want to see recording you need a DVR, there is no storage on the camera. If you want to just watch live video you can hook it up to any TV source with a analog input, you'll need a BNC to Video connector.

I don't know since I haven't read all the instructions for recording programs. On a former product, there were two tuners so I could watch a program while recording another channel, or record both channels, but not watch or record a third .

you need some kind of outside device. It doesnt record its just plug in, turn on the tv and you have live feed.

Use the front of the DVR. I always use the mouse. Should be able to use the DVR device. Never tried it though.

Sometimes ...It depends on the remote control features which are supported for your DVR. I have a TIVO, and can watch recorded programs on my TIVO from my PC. From my android phone I have difficulty starting a recorded program, but once started, I have little control other than returning to the menu.

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.

If you're receiving digital signals through your antenna, there is a limited TV guide for each station. Unfortunately it is not as good as the guide that shows up with a cable company's DVR. Some stations only list programs up to a few hours beyond the time you access the guide while other stations guides go for up to 48 hours beyond the current time. Kind of frustrating for shows you want to record that are a few days or more out from your current time. You could access tvguide.com from your computer and write down the dates/times of those shows and manually program recording times for them on the DVR.
