Record Show Watching Another Cable Box Vcr With A Digital Tuner Can I Record A Show On VCR Using A Converter Box While Watching Another Channel On Digital Tv Via Roof Antenna?

Can I record a show on VCR using a converter box while watching another channel on digital tv via roof antenna? - record show watching another cable box vcr with a digital tuner

I want to be able to use my recorder to record programs while I'm at work. Do you know whether it is possible to see for my family, digital TV or a DVD, while some other TV show I'm recording with the VCR connected to the converter. You know what the parameters that are associated with cables, etc. Thanks

Yes, you need a splitter instead of the antenna so that the converter so that you can be the converter without using the recording of live TV. Connect the extra antenna to the converter.

It is better to use composite cables to connect the converter to your VCR connected. In this way, you just set up the VCR to be able to record from the A / V to the converter output coaxial cable in place, but the quality is lower right, and we must remember that we always Converter VCR Recording output (channel 3 or 4).

For most converters have to manually configure the channel, so you can record one channel while you work.

The link below is the model, probably the best thing to a "VCR timer" makes it possible to program changes channels on the converter.

Video players are much more difficult to operate, with the introduction of DTV converter (as if it were so easy before). There are a few converter boxes that have a clock function on the VCR to change channels while you are programming, but most have not. This means that you have the converter box channel space for recording. If you try to record multiple programs on different channels while you're at home, then you are probably out of luck.

If you want other people need to use the TV while recording, then two converters and splitters. However, it is a nightmare.

The modern solution to this is the dual-tuner DVR like TiVo, but expensive ($ 180 - $ 250) and carries a monthly fee of $ 10 to $ 13

In addition to these options you should know that going digital converters often after a certain period of inactivity, perhaps a few hours or maybe a little more.

This may be your application is incomplete. To avoid disappointment, please read the menu on the converter is an option that does not extend off-stop activity, or the recording time.

Your VCR should be separated from your DVD player, but possible. Only the path of your converter box to your VCR and DVD on your TV in. However, this could make it a bit boring, so you can also drag A / V switch box of a type considered.
