| 1377225 | 2014-06-16 00:16:00 | I have a Veon TV and record the occasional programme. It is easy enough to do so but I can only make it record the station that I am watching. I want to record one station while watching another. When I do set up to record another programme, the TV wants to change to the station that I want to record. When I go to change the station back to the one I want to watch, the screen says that if I do that it will stop recording. Does anyone know how I can get the TV to record one station while watching another? Your help is appreciated. Thanks. |

| 1377226 | 2014-06-16 00:28:00 | As far as I'm aware, the Veon's use a single channel tuner, so are not capable of what you want. You could get a PVR that supports this. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1377227 | 2014-06-16 00:33:00 | Yup as far as I know all TVs that allow recording are the same, you can only record the channel that is currently showing on the screen. Haven't seen any TVs that have a dual tuner built in that would allow you to do what you want. You would need a separate PVR to record one channel while watching another, or a 2nd TV. :D |

| 1377228 | 2014-06-16 03:59:00 | You can record, and watch something else if they're on the same frequency tho (if you have a FV receiver, even if its got a single tuner). Not too sure about the TV's tho Soon find out with a TV. See the list of channels that share the same freq (www.dishtv.co.nz), watch one record the other. See if it works |

| 1377229 | 2014-06-16 06:08:00 | Thanks very much, gentlemen. I was not certain what the TV was capable of. Now I have been put straight. One last question. Pardon my ignorance, but what is a PVR? |

| 1377234 | 2014-06-17 00:08:00 | I have used a 16 GB Sandisk. It's OK. But sometimes the signal does go a bit wonky and stuffs it up. You could probably use a USB hdd as well. Altho, its clear it's not that easy editing it if you want to. Since its in ts format. I can record off satellite here too. Since I use it for Parliament for the flatmate. Since, you cant get Parliament on UHF here only on satellite. I havent tried yet but it maybe easier to edit whatever off satellite. Since it records in Mpeg format |
