Can I watch one program and record a different channel at the same time?
Yes, but you will need two converter boxes. One for the TV and one for the VCR. Each TV set or TV recording device, such as a VCR, that does not have a digital tuner must be connected to a converter box to continue receiving broadcast signals. You can see specifics on how to hook up converter boxes with your VCR, DVR or DVD recorder here.
