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?

1377231 2014-06-16 11:53:00 We have a 20" Veon attached to a Panasonic recorder and it records two programs and able to watch tv.

Even has a dvd player on the side.

Thanks for that, Speedy. I did not know that I had a PVR. Learn something new each day.

Speedy, see that USB port, what size stick required for good clarity ?, dvd's are slow to copy off Panasonic recorder !!.

Ps. Veon is 19" not 20" as stated above.

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
