Yes, by pressing rec or program recording at a certain time when you are not in front of the tv.

yes on VCR tapes and on DVD's but you need a tuner or cable box it does not ha a built in tuner. you can use a cable slitter and watch TV on another channel while using the cable box to record

Sure, but you need a tuner for the input. Any cable box or digital antennae will provide a "signal out" to plug into the recorder. The unit does NOT have it's own tuner.

To my knowledge If you are thinking about recording live television the answer is no, since there is no video/audio input on the device. however there are applications that can supply you with pre-recorded material such as xbmc. Also if you meant to record programs on another device such as tivo etc using this as a controller yes you can. That being said this is based on Android and if you are technology savvy it is probably possible to use an application along with an external video/audio receiver to record anything but it requires work.

I own the DVD/VCR player that you purchased. Yes you can record TV shows with it. That is one thing I made sure it could do.

Yes you can if connected properly. We have our connected to Directv box and Directv box to tv. We record usually to the box and then when we watch the show, we record to disc.

Yes. Press play on your VCR and press record. Like any recorder it can record the signal being displayed on the TV it is connected to.

yes but it is an NTSC (analog) not ATSC (digital) tuner. you will still need a convertor box to record over the air television

I have only used it to record TV shows that i have already recorded to my regular DVR machine. I dont know if it would be possible to record live feed TV...

Yes you can . This unit is digital as well and you can use it for your tv turner. P.s. I have had a new issue. Tv channels and shows know about these recorders and they are putting show type of digital signal that wont allow you to record all show. It happen to me watching welcome back cotter. , Family ties, the cosby show but most tv shows are record-able.

Unfortunately no. You need to buy a Roku streaming device and download the simple tv channel. The Roku will let u watch recorded content on ur TV.

No you can't record. It's good for Netflix, yourube, file sharing, music playing

Yes, but keep in mind that you have to supply your own usb hard drive and you will be limited to recording whatever channels the antenna can pick up. Also you will not be able to record one thing and watch another. You will watch what is being recorded. The box does a pretty good job recording. I can't tell the difference between something that's been recorded and live tv. The naming scheme is basic and doesn't use show names so you may have a hard time finding a particular show you recorded if you record a lot of stuff. But all in all this box enables free hd recording of your local channels.

The simple answer is no. Here's the official description. "For media mavens who want to play, record, and archive their music, photos, and videos across a variety of storage formats, the Panasonic DMR-EH59GA-K Multi-Zone 250GB HDD/DVD Recorder offers a dizzying array of choices that will satisfy the most demanding requirements. The multi-system device includes a 250GB hard disk drive, a DVD recorder that works with single- or dual-layer discs, and a USB port. Content can be recorded from one format to another, depending on file type and size. The DMR-EH59GA-K has a PAL tuner, and can also record SECAM programming. This model also plays NTSC region 1 (USA) discs via HDMI or A/V inputs (it will play all zones on a multi system TV) but cannot receive over-the-air US TV signals. Almost needless to say, the Panasonic DMR-EH59GA-K is a superb DVD/CD player. The unit includes 1080p upconversion, Dolby Digital, and Linear PCM for brilliant video and audio. The recorder also offers high-speed data archiving, Viera Link compatibility for convenient control of compatible HDTVs, and a simplified graphical user interface for easy function selection, among its other attributes."

YES! I record all the local channels, CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, WB, using my antenna. I set my timers for all the programs that l want to record. You have to set your time zone correctly. When I have a power outage, I have to reset the time zone again.

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

It will play directly to your TV, but I do not believe it has the capability to record from a DVR as there is no interface or ability to drag/drop what you wish to record. I'm not the most tech savvy so if somebody else knows how to do this I would be very interested in hearing it. I would think there would need to be a middle piece of equipment to connect the DVR and the Recorder.

Of course. No matter where the video signal comes from, from air, cable, or other video equipment, it can record on to DVD disk or internal Hard disk.
