will this unit record analog channels and hd channels

Yes it will. I assume you are using a cable or dish service. When you hook it up to your cable box or decoder it will ask if you want it to scan for all channels when done you will be able to record either. By the way you do not need a cable box just a card and decoder if your company offers that. The TiVo unit has several tuners inside.

Yes, the unit will capture video in either format. It has 2 tuners so it can record 2 different shows at once. Of course, the HD files are much larger, so it cannot hold as many but when viewing your stored shows the device will show you how many percent full the memoy is.

I am not sure about analog signals either. Our area was all digital when I purchased my TiVo. Works great with my roof top antenna.

Don't know what you mean by analog? I use it for my antenna on the roof , which are HD, and it can accept a card from the cable company.

This unit does not record analog channels, only digital. However, if you connect your VCR's audio/ video out to the Philips audio/video in you can then record this way. Be aware that if you are trying to record copy protected tapes your picture may be distorted.

I use Dish for my television reception with regular and HD channels. I have had no problem recordings using the dvr 620 by Toshiba (once I mastered the manual).

Yes, analog signals get stored first , then Digital, the only problem I have is the digital (HD and SD) audio is not available on the audio out as the analog channels are I figure its available on the Digital PCIM jack

No, it doesn't provide that kind of service. You can only record over-the-air shows from an antenna. There's a new model, but I believe it works the same way - its tuners only accept antenna inputs.

Yes, digital HD signals and analog signals. Your TV should be digital signal ready, which if it's only a few (10 or so I guess) years old it should be.

yes this unit works fine with antenna or cable hook up. onde note of caution the color quality of your recordingswill be pale,this seems to be a minor problem with this recorder.

Yes. it will record 4 separate channels at the same time with one of the 4 on the tv screen.

Be advised, unit has only a standard definition tuner. It can't record high definition tv. It will play dvds in high definition, and will upscale everything to high definition. But upscaled standard def isn't high definition.

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, you can record fron a standard tv station. if you are refering to a hdI cable yes ,I believe there was a cable included in the box. also if you mean does it record in hi-def. , yes. but no to HDD. And at the slowest speed , you can record up to 8 hrs. just like the tape unit next to it.

no,it can only record and play back in 480p as the highest quality. any hd programing recorded will be down converted tostandard definition.

You gotta have a tuner. Whether it's a cable box, a DVR, or a Digital-to analog converter like those available for old analog tv's doesn't matter. It just has to have a tuner and A/V outputs that your recorder can accept.

It depends, the unit itself has to be tuned to the channel it is recording. My output from the recorder to the TV is HDMI, so it would be possible to split the antenna signal and send it to both the recorded and the TV, then tune them separate. My problem is that the incoming signal is from a cable box, and I have to use the cable box to control channel selection, so, I am stuck with being able to watch/record only one channel at a time. It will allow you to watch what you are recording, while recording (rewind, pause, jump forward, etc.) You can also watch anything you have already recorded while recording a new show.

tuner works for analog and digital signals (cable or over the air). It dooes not record in HD--but it does upconverty the recordings to hd. Plays pre recorded disks in upconverted clarity. You will be spoiled by the hard drive recording (no tpes etc) Can be bought from Walmart on ship to store(on line)

Hi Kevin,Yes two will work at the same time allowing you to record 8 HD channels. Most of the significant requirements are for playback, not recording, so the stated system requirements will work for recording 8 HD channels at the same time.Thanks,-Jeremy
