answer 2

yes, but the tuner is terrible so best to run cable to a vcr with decent tuner and then direct input to the dvdr.

answer 3

Tuner picks up analog cable station. This works if your cable coax comes direct from wall to the unit or if coax runs thru a digital cable box first.

answer 2

I think it does support atsc because I would not be able to tune in channels such as 78.4 or 117.9 which are true digital broadcasts

No Upconversion and NO HDMI Output. I believe the 160 GB HDD model has these features.

Can I record my VHS tapes to DVD with this device?

As long as your VHS tapes are recorded from TV or made on a camcorder. Pre-recorded "Hollywood" movies can be recorded to HDD but not to DVD.

answer 2

Yes. As long as you have your vcr hooked up to the TV, then it through your TV. It would be similar to copying from one tape to another using 2 vcrs. Push play on vcr and then record on item.

You should be able to record any programming from HBO to the HDD but not to a DVD (either directly or dubbed from HDD).

answer 2

I don't know about all programming, but I am able to record from HBO and Showtime, Encore, and Starz. This may also have something to do with the cable box provided to you from your service provider. I do know that you cannot record from a purchased or rented copy protected DVD to the Hard Drive.

answer 1

You can record one show at a time. I have the Phillips 160Gb Recorder and Dvd Recorder and I can only record one program. I can watch another recording will it is recording too. I can also turn the input off of the tv and watch any other channel. That is what I do all the time because when I am done recording I don't want the thing left on.

answer 2

No, cant watch another show while recording. Dont know about the 180gb model but would say no also. The recorder would need two tuners. Dont have a problem with this, just switch back to the TV input and watch what I want.
