Can this record video while also playing it on the TV?

If I understand the question, yes. You see the video that is being recorded via the outputs on this unit.

Are you recording from a a camera or another source using a rca input if will record in real time. It will burn to the disc when it is finalized. hope this answer your question

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

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

No, this device is NOT for recording of anything! It has outputs, not inputs. You use it for playing downloaded or backed-up media content (Music and Video) on a TV that has an HDMI connection.

Yes, as long as you have a tuner or cable box. You must have a tuner or cable box with Audio/Video outputs (the white/yellow/red outputs). I use my cable box to record to the unit (VHS or DVD) every day.

If you are wondering if you can record directly from the tv, then the answer is yes.

Yes you can. You have two separate inputs, and you can record either or both.

I can't find any way to do that. It seems to be set up to only record audio while recording video.

I believe that it has the capability if you have a recording device to connect to it. This was not a feature I cared about so please know that I am not an expert in that type of capability. Bottom line though is that yes I beiieve you can record fro the S video or RCA output connections.

I don't think so. I don't use it to record from the cable tv - only to play dvds and video tapes.

Yes. Just connect it to the same indoor or outdoor HDTV antenna that the TV is connected to. If its tuner can pick up the signal, it will record it.

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, it can. I am using one that way, just as a monitor with no recording. The camera will still need to be hooked up to a 12 volt power source and the TV will need to have an RCA type video input jack (often called a game input). While you are using the camera, you will not be able to watch the TV. Amazon has several video monitors available if you don't want to dedicate a TV for this purpose.

You can record movies and tv shows with this machine, but beware, the machine I bought had a defective dvd player. I bought it for around $90. Sometimes a bargain isn't. Good luck!

I dont' know if you have received an answer...IF you use a cable box....run cable from box thru VCR then to TV. then you can record and watch at the same time. IF you have a new TV.....it is getting harder and harder to record shows...I can only record from my cable box OR an older analog TV. It is only a matter of time before we wont' be able to record a TV show...big box stores no longer carry DVD recorders....I suspect mixing the signal to prevent recording is in our future. Good luck

You should be able to record the same signal your TV is getting. If you have a picture on your TV you should be able to record it.

If you are referring to whether or not it can pick up audio while you're recording a video, the answer is yes.

Depending on what you wish to accomplish, yes. This unit strips the audio from the HDMI stream, allowing you to possibly capture the audio and video separately
