Can I playback a recording while it records something else like you can on a TiVo?

my dad owns it. I will check. My first reaction is no because it has a very simply processor. But I could easily be wrong. I will check on it for you. That's a heck of a question.

Yes, though I not exactly sure which function you want to pause. If you want to pause while recording, just hit the record button again (the button is actually labeled as "REC/PAUSE"). Then when you hit it again, recording will resume. If you want to pause while listening in playback mode, just hit the "Enter" button (also labeled as "PLAY/STOP"). Hitting it again will resume the playback. And lastly, if you want to temporarily pause or lock all functions, there is a "Hold" slide button that will do so, without shutting the device off.

As far as I know : NO! You can only record one channel at a time, and this recording will nlock the viewing of any other channel.

Yes. In that regard it works just like TiVo or any subscription service DVR, except, as noted by others, it can only rewind back to the point at which you started watching. Keep in mind, though, that this unit has only one tuner so you cannot be watching one channel and using the pause/rewind features while recording a program on another channel. You can watch a program using your TV's tuner while this unit records a program on another channel, just as you did with a VCR back in the day. Also, you can play back a previously recorded program while a new program is being recorded.

Yes. Press play on your VCR and press record. Like any recorder it can record the signal being displayed on the TV it is connected to.

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.

I can see that you can record in the radio mode, but it does not allow you to set a timer to start or end the recording job.

Yes you can. You have to hit the video record button on the back though. There is no record button on the screen.

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.

This DVD Recorder does not have a built-in tuner. You would not be able to record a show while watching another unless you connect a separate tuner to this recorder.

Yes if you set any tv up properly with a tivo you can watch channel a while channel b is recording. To do so on current models you'll need to get an adapter and run a separate cable line to the tivo and another to the tv. Hopefully the new Tivo's will offer pass through signals like those old VCRs did.

Margaret, not that I am aware of. I'm pretty sure that is a feature specifically for Tivo-to-Tivo. I would think the actual recording file format is different and proprietary to prevent pirating.

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

To my knowledge If you are thinking about recording live television the answer is no, since there is no video/audio input on the device. however there are applications that can supply you with pre-recorded material such as xbmc. Also if you meant to record programs on another device such as tivo etc using this as a controller yes you can. That being said this is based on Android and if you are technology savvy it is probably possible to use an application along with an external video/audio receiver to record anything but it requires work.

Yes you can, and if I recall you can save folders of different recordings. The instructions are horrible and I no longer use it, but if it only came with decent instructions it would be great. I think I finally googled directions on how to program different tasks.
