Is there any way to watch a program thru the DVR670 while it is programed to record something later?

Not sure, it would depend on the format you are using to record on. If you are programing a disc you can watch a VHS tape in the meantime. I think you would need to switch it back to DVD format (mode) once you are done watching the tape. If you are going to watch a program while the DVR670 is programed you'll have to watch through the rabbit ears or the dish while the program is being recorded. This is what I do. All recorded programs are through the dish onto the DVR670

Yes. It streams the program while it is being recorded. There is a few second delay.

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.

Hi, I never tried recording TV programs on it, but I guess if you can find a way to feed TV signal to the DVR it will record them also, it works just fine with the cameras though.

yes it should. if not it has to be operated by using the panel on front of machine. plus i dont think you can record any thing in the future only can record a current program while watching it.

Don't know. I have the receiver hooked to a DVR at home to record the video. I guess you could connect remotely to the DVR to monitor which camera channel you wanted to watch.

I don't know, I only use computer monitors. I have seen this question asked before, and guess that older TV's are not compatible with the software on the DVR.

it does record through the v.c.r. But I found it malfunctioning fairly quickly, and not recording the full program.

It's a dvr it's not suppose to turn off, it needs to be recording at all times

It's supposed to connect to your DVR. NO software, because the DVR software controls PT function.

The short answer is no, because the unit only has one tuner. However, as digitalicecream states, if your TV has a tuner, you can use the TV tuner to watch programs while the unit is recording.

Just put in a password. Set yourself up as the admin, then you are the only one can sign in to the DVR to operate the rewind and play functions.

One receiver=one program at a time. The DVR has just one receiver so, whether watching live TV or recording, the unit can only receive one program at a time. Use an RF splitter to send a signal to both your TV and the DVR and you'll be able to record one show to the DVR and watch a different show simultaneously on your TV using the TV's receiver.You can watch a show previously recorded to the DVR hard drive while simultaneously recording another show to the hard drive.

No, not aware the compatible receivers record. You can add an external hard drive to the receiver & use it as a DVR. The receiver must be on all the time for it to work.

Yes, I use mine for that. Don't expect setting up program recordings to be as easy as cable DVR. The set up for program recording is not very user friendly but it does the job. Antenna cable attachment is easy. Output to the TV is easy as well. Just read the user manual to set up.

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

Either through a HDMI cable or through the optical out cable on the DVR or TV
