How many shows can you record at once?

Two shows at once, but you then cannot watch a third show live unless you pause one of the two channels being recorded. However, I rarely need to record two shows at once since the offerings are so slim.

Just two shows at once but that seems to be enough for us. My daughter has her own DVR from our Cable provider (Charter) but she hardly uses it.

We can record 2 shows at once. And you can watch one that is already recorded. We have 4 tivos, so at our house we can record more. If you can afford it - get one with newer technology and a large size. And certainly get lifetime service if you can afford it. You'll love TIVO.

Yes, its not fun though. The only way to re-record is to clear the memory... and that clears all 5 potential recordings. So make sure you have everything you want to put back on it backed up.

Yes. You can record 2 new tracks at a time and it plays all the tracks while you are recording the new ones. If you don't want to hear the other tracks, you can manually turn them down or mute them. Hope this helps. it is a magnificent machine for the price.

You are getting the ability to record up to four programs at a time, the good program guide that shows about two weeks in advance, excellent program information like season and number of the show and when it first aired. Ability to pause, rewind and fast forward on most programs, and a lot of other extras. Well worth the fee in my opionion.

One recorded message at a time. I bought two of them to save on shipping, so most recordings are good in this way. I agree, it would be great if they had one that could hold multiple recordings, but then you would have to have a way to select them. Beyond the design of this one.

You can only record two tracks at a time, so a whole band will not be possible unless you record each member at a time. Check the DP-24 and DP-32 for 8 inputs, meaning you can record 8 tracks at a time.

I dont' know if you have received an answer...IF you use a cable box....run cable from box thru VCR then to TV. then you can record and watch at the same time. IF you have a new TV.....it is getting harder and harder to record shows...I can only record from my cable box OR an older analog TV. It is only a matter of time before we wont' be able to record a TV show...big box stores no longer carry DVD recorders....I suspect mixing the signal to prevent recording is in our future. Good luck

I returned the item a long time ago, but I think you can actually come into a show already on the air, press "rec" and start watching, and then after that you can press "pause" and "play" all you wish. You cannot do this with a show that you set to record and then walked in on mid-way. Nor can you do the "rec/pause" trick while the unit is already recording a show - without messing up your recording.

Yes you can, in fact you can record two programs while watching a third prerecorded program.

Yes. You can program it to record a show or a series for every day at a specified time or once a week at a specified time.I hope this helps.

Yes, you can record 2 audio lines at the same time (and also a 3rd MIDI line, too).

Yes you can. You should be able to record more than 2 songs as well. Hope this helps you

You can record on all 8 cameras at the same time. It depends on the quality of video you choose for all 8 cameras. The best thing to do is set up the cameras for motion detection. That way it uses up less space on your dvr and you're more likely to get 30+ days of recording time.

Yes , you can record on all channels at same time, although it will fill your hard drive up fast, but you can overwrite old footage to make room. Your ONLY able to review 4 channels back at same time, as the dvr continues to record. Hope that helps clear up things.
653416
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 .

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

The recorder does have a manual set recording where you can select individual programs. User that method if you are not interested in reruns.
