why can't you record 2 shows and watch 1 show at the same time with TIVO?

Answer 1

because those are the rules.

Answer 2

Actually you can. Just split the coax 3 ways run 1 into your cablebox, 1 into the back of your Tivo, and one into the output of your TV. Then just with the input from the s-video to the cable in. This is of course assuming your tv can do this. Otherwise the answer that the 2 tuners are busy recording and thus can't tune another channel is the best answer.

Answer 3

Let's not forget that the technology is also limited to how fast it can read and write to its hard drive. When you watch a show, it is temporarily recording that information to the hard drive no matter what, so it would probably be difficult for the system to record three simultaneous broadcasts at once.

Answer 4

not immediately. For twin tuner to right now paintings, you want an analog cable lineup. satellite tv for pc in basic terms does not provide that. the dual tuner sequence 2 in simple terms helps one container of any form at a time. you may manually list the RF out channel on a 2d Dish container/tuner, and manually replace channeels on the container or set timers on it and the DVR.

Answer 5

Cause you only have 2 tuners. So if you are recording two, both tuners are being used for that purpose. You can watch something off of your list while two are recording though.

Answer 6

because TIVOS only come with 2 tv tuners

Answer 7

I actually did that (above) but then I realized that there was programming that I had already recorded that I could watch.

Too much TV and not enough time.

Answer 8

Becasue that would be too much TV for one person.

Answer 9

you should invent that, then you'll be rich!
