23-Feb-2008 dave coe: could you use to record cctv cameras?

Easycom: as long as you can connect it to the DV recorder, yes

3-Apr-2008 StuartJ: If it has an analogue tuner does this mean I can record video from my old sony analogue camcorder ? if I can, does it have its own ADC so it can lay the recording on to the HDD or DVD as digital?

Easycom: no, its nothing to do with camcorders. You can connect your camcorder either via a firewire cable or a composite with audio, you should have one of these with you camcorder. you cannot convert your analogue recordings di digital

25-Sep-2008 sandra1972: Does this recorder allow me to watch one tv show whilst recording another? Also could I be watching a dvd and recording a tv show to hard drive?

Easycom: yes you can watch a DVD & record a Tv programme at the same time. as for watching TV & recording another channel, you can do it by recording from the DVD's tuner but watch using the TV's tuner, or vice versa

26-Sep-2008 kevin: Is it normal for it to hum? (you hear it during a silence on the TV) as I find it disturbing

Easycom: yes they do. Its a problem with all makes of DVD recorders, yes very annoying. Its the hard drives

19-Oct-2008 Bert: hi could you tell me if the Sony RDR-HX870 HDD/DVD Recorder is compatible with sky

Easycom: yes, I use one to record from Sky. you need to set it to channel L1, which is the AV1v input to the recorder

6-Nov-2008 colin: on the sky + box there is an option to send a recorded prog to a dvd player to say keep for ever. can this player do this ?

jeremy: the only way you could do this is to record it, on the DVD recorder, at the same time as you're viewing it. The DVD recorder will have to be on channel L1, which is an AV channel, and should then pickup whatever is showing on the TV

9-Nov-2008 Lez: Can I record from analogue tuner while watching programme on digital and vice versa?

jeremy: yes you can

10-Nov-2008 Jan: I have a digital tuner in my TV will this interact with the tuner in the recorder? Would you recommend a different product?

david s: The tuneras won't interact with each other as they work individually

10-Nov-2008 Jane S: Does "integrated dual Digital and Analogue tuner" mean freeview tuner or would I need a seperate freeview box?

sajidH: You don't need a sperate freeviewbox. freeview tuner is integrated.
