I don't believe so but it is packed away in the RV for the winter. Recording was not one of our requirements.

Yes, you will be able to set up recording of programs off the air ahead of time but the feature does not work the way you would expect. In my tuner, the calendar is a few days behind the actual date and I always need to correct programming for that offset. The other inconvenience is that the tuner does not automatically takes the channel number and the time from the program guide. I need to set up recording manually. To make HD TV recording it is important to use a fast USB 3.0 hard or flash drive. I am using PNY flash drive with 130MB/s writing speed and it provides high quality HD recording.

It records one show at a time but you can watch other tv shows at the same time.

Any number of programs have recording capabilities. Just have to find the one you like.

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.

One unfortunate drawback of this recorder is its lack of a tuner. If you get your television programs using cable or a satellite, this is not a problem. However, if you get your programming over the air using an antenna or your television's internal tuner, then you are not able to record directly from your television.

If you can connect to the output rca port of your tv tuner. Since the dvd recorder does not have a tuner it cannot record directly.

Well yeah, you can record whatever you want actually, just plug the TV signal to the capturer and voilá!

Yes it will give you a short list of the showing coming up. Scroll down and select the ones you want to record. The menu covers about 6 hours or so but you can program it to record days in advance. I look up my local TV stations programming on the internet to set that.

Yes you can watch live TV while you record, but you are NOT recording on this box because it's not a DVR. This box records to your computer/laptop.

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

Yes you can, with a little work. Go to AVSforum and search the DVR+ thread for their testing of a program called "ffmpeg" which converts the original file to a useable format.

No, but Plex (free) can stream and transcode recorded tv to those clients should you add a computer to handle 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 you can, in fact you can record two programs while watching a third prerecorded program.

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.

Yes, you can tape or record any show off TV that is not copy [protected. You can record to either VHS tape or to DVD.s. Byron Bratlie
