Can you record two channels at the same time? null

No... You can only record one channel at a time. I set up one recording for Ch 11 - 10:00 pm to 10:30 pm, then I set up a second recording for channel Ch 2 - 10:00 pm to 10:30 pm (for the same time), and I received an error message telling me I could not set up the 2nd recording due to a conflict in recordings. I hope that helps... I received the Mediasonic Over the Air Digital Video Recorder for Christmas. My wife got it on sale for $29.99, and I love it...!!! I already had a signal splitter and coax cable, but I had to buy an HDMI cable for $6.xx on Best Buys Website. I also had an extra 64gb thumbdrive, so I was ready to go. I recorded The Big Bang Theory in HD 1080p, and it looks fantastic on my 60" tv. I'm guessing that a 2 hour movie takes about 4 gb of space, so I may buy a 1 to 2 tb external hard drive in the near future. One of the downfalls is, the tv guide is provided by the tv stations, not the Mediasonic. So the tv guide in my area is only for a day. I can see everything scheduled for that day, but not the next. But I'm old school and had a VCR in which you had to program recording yourself. PRESS TIMER on remote, Select Channel, DATE, Time ON, Time OFF, and SAVE. I made a list of the day and times for my favorite programs, and I just set it up ahead. I could talk forever about this thing, so I better end it here...

No. In fact if you happen to be watching a program when your recording starts, it switches you to the program you are recording. The solution is to have 2 digital antennas - 1 for the TV and 1 for the Mediasonic. Or get a signal splitter - may be a better option.

Buy a second one. split the antenna 3 ways. Attach one PVR and program, attach the other and program it. Then watch the TV while the other 2 PVR's are recording.
