Can I watch a different channel If I'm watching a program on my main tv set can my wife watch a different cable channel on another tv? or do both sets have to be tuned to the same channel?

You have to watch the same cable channel. Basically you are controlling your cable box at a distance.

can you still use your tv to watch regular cable channels while the roku is connected

It worked for me, but keep in mind, as I learned the hard way, you will have to turn the channel on the box in the other room 75ft away. You will not be able to watch to different programs on the two tv's.

Yes if the sling is getting signal from the same box. You change sling, sling changes cable box. Someone changes the box channel, you see what they see slung at you.

Yes you can. As long as you have reception for that channel it will work even if you don't have reception for that channel it will tune to that channel

You can use two receivers and watch two different channels, however the channels must both be on the same satellite.

If you could watch from the antenna on your TV without the box, yes you can. You have to run an antenna coax cable back out of the Homeworx to your TV's antenna/cable coax input, have your Homeworx box's set to "Loop Through" (on the HW-150, go to Menu/Channel Search/Modulation). Now, while the Homeworx box is recording one thing, you can switch your TV's input to "TV" and watch a different channel through the TV's tuner.

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.

you can use it in place of a cable box but you will have 2 TV sets playing the same program. this system only moves the signal it will not give you a separate control

Yes, you can record a show on one channel and watch another show on another channel. Or you can record a show on one channel and "chase" it, i.e. come home when you've recorded the first half of the show and start watching at the beginning.Or you can watch an already recorded show while recording a show. --Lee Gold

Yes, You can both listen to the same program and have different volumes, the headphones have a separate volume control on them, if your wife doesn,t want to listen to the show, you can turn the TV volume down and still use your volume control on your headphones

I don't have a cable box but in order to get digital cable I need one. So with a cable box, I can't record and watch a different show at that time.

No, unfortunately you have to keep the tv tuned to the channel you are recording. I found out while trying to record a program for class while watching the news. Luckily a classmate had also recorded the program so I could watch it.

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.

...a correction. Tuning your tv to channel 3 or 4 is not necessary. You'll just need to select the audio/video input on your tv.

No. I wasn't sure, so I just tried it. The DVR has one tuner, so it can be tuned to one channel to record while you watch another channel on your TV. I tried recording 2 shows at once, but it only recorded the first one that I programmed.

Each can be programmed for any function performed by another device remote (not just your TV remote). I use Option 1 for channel up/ Option 2 for channel down on my cable box. Follow the instruction manual and remember - the ends of the remotes must face each other to transfer the function code.
